College Romance. First year college student studying opera singing at a college town in the US

[Gai]

I think the main character may be Laura.
I read the book in the early 1980s and I think it would be classified as YA now.
She moves to a college town and stays in the residential facilities.
She definitely has opera singing classes with a tutor but I can’t recall if this is her major.
She drinks black tea to clear her vocal cords.
There is a romance with a male student.

Gai, what's the genre (which we need to add to the header/topic title) - e.g., adult contemporary romance? (YA = teens, in this group)

Can you tell us more about her romantic interest?

YA contemporary romance

Romance was very gentle - they went on dates and he supported her career ambitions
