Hey Heirii, I can't really help, as I am only 14 yr. old but beginning 11th grade now and have been playing the flute for only half a year. Some tips are to narrow down your choices. Which state do you want the college to be in? How top do you want to go - do you have a scholarship to any colleges? ...
