Juli Nickel Part 2 - Flutist & College Audition Coach

Check out part 1 for the start of Eric's and Juli's discission on the process to get into college music programs. In part 2 we continue our conversation with Juli Nickel, flute instructor at George Mason University, and founder of Juli Nickel Consulting - an amazing coaching service dedicated to helping students navigate and find the best college music school for them. I love Juli's holistic approach to coaching future college music students. As she says: "So you got into X or Y school - now what?" Can you afford it? Does your family want you living there? What else should you consider? Plus, her expert advice comes from her personal experience (at North Texas & New England Conservatory) as well as helping her own kids.
