[quote=Anonymous]OP, it's a PERFORMING ARTS school. The kids your kid was competing against were also talented but they have also probably been studying with top teachers and putting in the necessary practice time -- which is really the only way that virtually anyone can excel at a musical instrument -- for up to a decade. I'm not sure how you consider this unfair. This is no different than if your kid was competing for a top sports team and they had never played on a high-level team and developed the necessary skills to compete at that level. If your kid is "self taught by ear," they probably can't even read scored music at the level necessary to participate in Duke Ellington's music program. Get a grip.[/quote]
