2. What is the cost for a studio subscription?

• There is no charge for using TalentSpotz.com as a student or teacher. Students are encouraged to make a single donation of 1 lesson ($30) for using the system throughout their high school experience to offset expenses and in recognition of the fact that the system is well worth the $30 in time saved and scholarships found etc. Your donation allows next year's musicians to have access to the resources too!

3. What do you do with all of my personal data - is it safe?

• It is safe. We never sell any personal data or retain any credit card information once payments are processed. Colleges will, of course, have access to your resume and contact information you listed there. Remember to never post your social security number or any other vital personal information in the profile other than relevant school and talent information. (Click to view TalentSpotz Privacy Policy). If you feel a breach has occurred please contact us immediately at PRIVACY@TALENTSPOTZ.COM

4. Why would I want to use TalentSpotz.com before my junior or senior year?

• Colleges often have honors opportunities to visit the campus and perform under the direction of the Professors. This is a splendid chance to informally see what you think of the campus and the school in a low key unrushed setting. Many seniors regret not having participated in more weekend type or camp type experiences before having to make a final college decision. Also colleges align their resources by graduation year so a freshman in college is going to be replaced by a current freshman in high school. The better they know you and your abilities over time, the easier it is for them to extend substantial invitations to you.
