Exactly! And some humor can help lighten the mood before your audition. I always tell my friends to imagine the judges in goofy outfits—it works wonders!
In reflection, I believe finding your unique sound is crucial. It’s not just about technical skills; it’s about how you interpret and relate to the music. Just enjoy the process!

Yes! Sherwood provides great mentorship opportunities with faculty and alumni. It’s a great way to network and enhance your skills.
Are there any events or showcases that students participate in? I love performing and would love to get involved.
Yes! They host several events each semester, including recitals and open mic nights. A great chance to gain stage experience!
Performance opportunities sound exciting! Are the classes mainly focused on performance, or is there a mix with theory and composition too?
There’s definitely a mix! While performance is a big focus, you’ll also dive into music theory and composition, which helps in becoming a well-rounded musician.
I’ve read mixed reviews about the faculty. Are the instructors generally supportive and helpful?

My experience has been positive! Most instructors are dedicated and offer great guidance, though like anywhere, there can be a few exceptions.
Sometimes I find theory classes can be a snooze-fest! But if they help you in the long run, I guess it’s worth it. How engaging are the classes?
I feel you! But the faculty makes theory fun; they incorporate interactive projects that keep you engaged while learning.
