| Mr. Laureano,
I have a question...about my student. Well, he's a very driven individual. He applied to Madison, Twin Cities, and River Falls and gotten in to all of them academically, but he wants to take a year off from school. Would you recommend that? To practice for a year and try to get into conservatories? I want to tell him he should go to Minnesota because not only would he get an education, listen to a great trumpet player like yourself but be able to listen to a great orchestra. What is your view about this? Taking a year off to do nothing but practice or go to college whereas he would still have that opportunity?
Thanks
