Frost School of Music in Salzburg: Teacher Recommendations?

[defy_gravity08]

Can anyone recommend a teacher in the Frost School's Salzburg program? I have to give them 3 choices pretty soon. My first is Cynthia Hoffmann, cuz she's a mezzo and so am I. And you know, the Juilliard thing. ;-) I think my 2nd choice is gonna be Mary Schiller, but I'm not sure

Could you give me more info on that program? I'm looking into doing it next summer...You know...was it hard to get in? money? those kinds of things.

Congratulations, by the way!

Oh and sorry this comment was of no help to your post.

they have a website.. but anyway, i'm not sure how hard it was to get into cuz i don't know how many applied, but they took 44 singers. as for money, it's about $5k.. so i won't be asking my parents for money again for a loooooong time. it seems like a good program, and i hope it will be worth the expense!

good luck :-)

My friend studies with Cynthia and loves her.

Hoffman is good, but last year she brought a LOT of her own students so there wasn't much room for outsiders. The person I studied with there isn't there =(

Ummm isn't Jerrold Siena going? I would suggest him. I would not study with Schiller. I used to attend CIM and do no recommend her. I have also heard good things about Esther Jane. Hope you have fun!

I took a performance class with Cynthia at my school last semester, she is AMAZING! Because it was a performance class, we didnt touch technique that much. However, she is WONDERFUL for character developement and has amazing ideas..I loved working with her. Plus, the students in her studio all sound great!
