Both of them were admitted to the Berklee College of Music, but everyone had different opinions. Everyone felt it was a pity that Ouyang Nana went to Berklee. After all, with her talent before, she deserved better. Everyone thought that Wang Yuan paid his way into the competition through connections, but later he clarified that he signed up in person.
Nana Ouyang is famous for playing the cello. She started practicing at the age of 6, won the Taiwan Cello Competition at the age of 11, held 4 solo concerts at the age of 12, was admitted to the Curtis Institute of Music at the age of 13 and received a full scholarship, and entered the stage of the National Center for the Performing Arts in Beijing at the age of 15. Many people may not know much about Curtis Institute. It is known as "one of the most selective music schools in the world." Only about 170 students from around the world can enter this institute after strict selection every year. The admission rate is usually 4 %. So when Ouyang Nana was admitted to Curtis College, his parents were very proud.
But she dropped out of school not long after enrolling. The media once thought that Ouyang Nana was obsessed with the colorful world of the entertainment industry and wasted her studies. However, Ouyang Nana has her own ideas, "Why do actors and music Can’t we do both at home?” At the age of 18, Ouyang Nana still chose to go back to school and applied to the Juilliard School of Music, but ultimately went to Berkeley. If she had not interrupted her studies and continued her studies at Curtis University because she wanted to be an actress, she would have reached a higher level of achievement, but she gave up.
It’s not that Berklee College of Music is not good, it’s just that the main music at Berklee is pop music, which is not in line with Ouyang Nana’s classical style. Moreover, she taught one-on-one at Curtis. It was something that Berkeley couldn't give her, but she had already made her choice. But Wang Yuan is different. He is originally engaged in pop music. It is indeed a good choice to enter Berkeley, and he can further his studies.
