Welcome to So You Went To School for Singing - The Podcast, based on the late 2000's satirical and sometimes slightly petty Tumblr page with the same name. I am your host André Peele and thank you for joining the conversation about all things related to a career in and around singing. Each episode a guest and I discuss the ups, downs, and uniqueness of this crazy pursuit. Let's get started!!

    S3. Ep. 2 Under the Willow Tree w/ Caitlyn Primous

    In this episode, I sit down with Caitlyn Primous, a rising senior in the Bachelor of Music in Musical Theatre program at Florida State University. Caitlyn discusses her journey into Musical theatre and the process of creating and producing her musical Under the Willow Tree. Throughout this episode, you will hear music from the rehearsal process of Under the Willow Tree. Rarely do we get the opportunity to hear clips of the very early stages of a new work, so I am grateful to Caitlyn for giving me permission to share these.
