We feel very fortunate to have found Steve at an early point in the college application process, when our son was in 10th grade. Without a doubt, Steve’s advice at this early stage was instrumental in shaping our son into the musician he is today, with ultimate acceptance at many of his top music school choices. Steve spent a great deal of time getting to know our son, helping him to identify the type of program that would best fit his music goals, and then forming a strategy going forward. Steve’s knowledge of the various music schools and incredible network of contacts across the country were invaluable. Early in the process, Steve also helped our son identify precollege music programs to enhance his musicianship and music education experience while in high school. Steve also arranged various itineraries for undergraduate campus tours, meetings with actual college students and admissions faculty, and lessons with college music professors. Later as the application process started, Steve helped in every step of the way, from essay reviews, to resume prep, and mock interviews. In short, we — and more importantly, our son — couldn’t have done it without Steve.”
