I have a HS student auditioning for Peabody in a few months -- he just
started working with me in August. No musical background, no languages, but
a world-class baritone voice and amazing sense of interpretation (acting
major at the local HS of the Arts). He's nervous about the audition because
of his lack of background, but as an alum, I've spoken with my teacher and
with the opera director and they say that if he has the instrument I say he
has, that's of paramount importance. Fingers crossed. I still have to bang
German and Italian into this head over the next two months.
Your friend is singing Schoenberg with no musical background? WOW.
