I didn't answer your question o the list, because I thought you'd think my
answer is too simplistic:
You know you're "conservatory material" if you audition for a conservatory and
they accept you.
I think colleges and conservatories are looking for singers with a good vocal
instrument, and good basic musical ability. Someone who'll benefit from what
they have to offer.
I'd say the better question for someone like yourself to ask is not "Am I
conservatory material?" but "Can this school give me what I need to help me
reach my goals?"
And the answer would come via the same sort of research one would do in
considering whether to attend any institution of higher education. Research
the school on the web, visit the school, talk to students and graduates. If
you narrow your question to a specific school or two you're interested in
attending, I'm sure someone on the list can provide information about it.
