Question
My niece would like to study music in Austria.She is well trained in vocals and plays the piano.Can you advise and let me know the cost and procedure for applying in one of the schools for her.Thanks!

Answer
I apologize, but I really don't have any experience or knowledge in that area. I personally would suggest that your niece study music in the university of her choice and aim to spend a year in Vienna through a study abroad program as part of her course work - but again, I really have no knowledge of costs or application procedures. I also don't know which Austrian universities accomodate non-German speakers, which ones welcome foreign students or what the rules of a student visa would be. Apologies!
