Dear Daniel:

Thank you for inviting me for your live audition. I am writing this e-mail because I have questions to ask. I have a question as follows:

Q: Since I am an international student, I will not be able to bring accompanist with me. According to Butler’s audition information, the school provides an accompanist only to voice/ opera students. If so, what strings major student like me has to do as far as accompanist is concerned? Do I suppose to perform without accompanist? I need an advice on this from you.

Sincerely yours,

Kathleen Y. Kim, BM violin applicant

Dear professor Lewis:

Thank you for your letter and kind offer. I will stay with my friend until February 1^st. So, I will be available on both of days. My US phone will 

be available on 24^th of February. I will give you the number once I get the number. Thank you.

Sincerely yours,

Jin Young Song, MM applicant

Voice & Opera

Dear Professor Amy Burton:

How have you been? Now I am in Korea, taking a happy break. As you may know, I received an offer of admission from Mannes, the New 

School for Music. Above all, I am very glad that I am assigned to you!!! I want to thank you for your warmest consideration. I know it is pretty hard to get into your studio.

One thing I am wondering about is the scholarship matter. Based on the mail from your school, they were not able to offer a scholarship due to either the level of my score and/or the specific needs of the department. I just want to know that my mistake in the live audition (short 

pausing, you might remember^^) affect the scholarship decision. As far as the TOEFL and GPA are concerned, I don’t think I have a serious 

problem. I just want to know what were the most influential factor for my scholarship decision and no offense for the decision.

I also want to know more about the music camp you mentioned to me before. I looked up your web site and found out there are 3 music 

camps held in France, Japan, and China. Which one did you mention? And I want to get more information on this. Thank you again and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Very truly yours,

Kathleen Y. Kim, Voice student
