Toby G. — student — Mercer Island, WA.

When I was looking at schools to apply to, I really wanted to go to a conservatory. I didn’t really know how or what the process was and how it differed from normal colleges. Mr. Lipman was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, and he explained the process to me and helped me prepare for every step. He reviewed my essays, did multiple mock interviews, was able to get me in contact with a professional for a mock audition/lesson and was always open to questions about the process. Even though in the end, I decided not to go to a conservatory, Mr. Lipman was able to help me both get accepted to them and was very helpful in teaching me about the process, which I will take with me for the rest of my life. I will be attending Central Washington University in the fall.
