Not sure yet - may not get enough from any of the funding recalls to go anywhere so the next few months are going to be tense with 5 recalls.Live_thedream wrote:But great that DS was successful elsewhere. Where is he going?Scarytimes wrote:My DS said the audition at Arts Ed was the most unfriendly and felt like they were treated like cattle. A fire alarm in the middle of the jazz class didn't help either as they lost 15 minutes. It was odd as he thought it was the place he would like best and feel at home at but he didn't. It all put him off rather and it is the only one he didn't get a recall/offer from.
His view on the first rounds so far:
Urdang - challenging and long day but very friendly and welcoming and all the classes allowed him to really show his strengths.
Arts Ed - unfriendly, impersonal and very short. Didn't feel he had the chance to show what he can do
Mountview - loved it. Friendly for students and parents. Lots of current students there to help and do an FAQ session. The results were done in an X-factor style where they were split into rooms and told as a group. Scary.
GSA - short and the dance class wasn't challenging but he liked it there.
Laine - the best feeling as it was organised efficient and friendly with plenty of student helpers to guide auditionees around. Miss Laine led the singing/solo dance panel so he really felt they were properly assessed. Quite formal.
London studio centre - relaxing day as they audition in small groups and the singing was just in front of the pianist/singing teacher.
