Steve helped my dreams of studying contemporary music in the United States become a reality with his extensive knowledge of the higher education system, the application process and what school would be the right fit for me. Being an international student from Brisbane, Australia, the whole process of applying and auditioning for music colleges in America seemed very daunting but through Steve’s help I was able to find the right school and now I am absolutely loving it! Steve gave me invaluable confidence and guidance through the whole application process and made the entire experience both for me and my family positive and stress-free.

Applying to college for music is certainly a huge undertaking. Steve Lipman is an excellent resource to cater to my specific interests and desires. The college process would have been infinitely more difficult without him.

Mr. Lipman was instrumental in guiding me through the entire college application process. He offered me the tools I needed to succeed in both my audition and interview. Throughout this entire process, Mr. Lipman was always there to answer any questions and lend a helping hand in any way he could. Not only did Mr. Lipman help in my application requirements, but he truly took the time to get to know me and my goals, which helped me decide which school was right for me. I am very grateful for his assistance and advice. My family and I found his help invaluable!

Hey Steve. I’m writing to tell you the good news. I got accepted into my first-choice college this week! I want to thank you again for your support and all the help you have given me. It really helped a lot.

Thanks for everything Steve. I was very reluctant to use any sort of college counseling, but I’m eating my words because you were totally worth it.

Steve was an incredible help throughout the whole college process. He goes above and beyond to be more than just a college counselor. He researched and found a great guitar teacher for me when I was in need of one and he also set up mock auditions and interviews, which were invaluable. Even after the process, he still acts like a mentor in so many ways. For example, Steve helped me figure out which classes to register for and connected me with other students who were attending my college. Steve makes himself available to answer any short (or long) questions, and always responds to emails quickly. Overall, Steve took away a lot of the stress of the college application process and I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking at music schools!

Steve helped me find colleges that weren’t just strong in music; he helped me find colleges that offered exactly the kind of musical experience I was looking for. Over the course of my college search, Steve put me in contact with the right people at each college I visited and even arranged a mock audition and interview with actual admissions faculty. Thanks to Steve, I was able to nail my auditions, keep my applications in order and choose the right college for my interests.

When I met Steve, I had no idea about the music education system  in the US. I am from a different nation so the education system that I see so far, is very different from the US education system. I had to have guidance, help to organize my future studies, and to find the right school for me. I wanted to be a composer. Composition is a very special major and in this major, faculty is very important. Thanks to Steve, I got the best information about all of the music schools in the US. He helped in every step: choosing the right school, application process, audition practice, final decision...
I am so happy right now that I worked with Steve through this period of time. Because he is not just my adviser, but also my friend now.

Our family came from the Ukraine to US in October. In the Ukraine I studied in R.M. Glier Kyiv Institute of Music for 2 years and wanted to continue my education in the US. But I completely wasn’t familiar with education system and how I would be able to achieve acceptance to institutions in United States. My family didn’t have any idea how we can do it. With your help I visited a couple of music colleges in Boston and became informed about best the institution choices for me. Besides, I got help with filling out applications, collecting documents and all related to it. And now, from September I will study at the Boston Conservatory of Music. I received 50% scholarship from the institution. Me and my family are very thankful and sincerely grateful to you and the other people who did so much for us – namely Steve and Lauren.

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all the support you’ve given to me and my family. If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t be where I am now at Holland College in Canada. I am very proud of being the musician that I am today.

I’m so happy and relieved to say that we finally made the decision to commit to Oklahoma City University!  I know I've said this before, but I really would just like to thank you for all your work and all your help throughout this journey. It's been stressful and exhausting, but your support always made it better. A year ago, I was lost and confused, and had no idea what to do or where to go. You helped me get out of that and put me on the right track to what I wanted. It's still unbelievable to see how much I've grown in the past year, and I definitely have you to thank. Working with you was an absolute pleasure, and if I had to do it again, it wouldn't be with anyone else.

You have done more for me than you can realize, and I can’t thank you enough. I can’t really put it all into words, let alone one email, so I’ll put it like this: Our relationship definitely will not end so abruptly. We’ve got a long way to go.

“Thank you so much connecting me with the people at the college to help me prepare for my audition. What I learned in just two days was invaluable”.
