[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Great points but I never mention anything about it being unfair....also when touring and at the open house I personally did not see only but a few white kids, this did not bother me.  I just was curious if background plays a role. That's it ... I should be able to post and question something with out people putting words or saying things i did not say nor was the Get a grip necessary.   Just nasty.[/quote]

People should also be able to give their opinions on your post, otherwise what is the point? You stated that Duke Ellington doesn't want middle class white kids and people are here to tell you that you are wrong, you seem to be the one not taking it well.[/quote]
