[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They have kids who are beginners—kids who didn’t make it into desired program so allowed to join instrumental to be at Duke[/quote]

I don’t think this is true. All the instrumental students I’ve come across are highly, highly skilled. It’s a really competitive program to get into.[/quote]

I think this more likely that a kid will be invited to play a different instrument— think viola instead of violin or oboe instead of flute- than someone who applied for acting being asked to play cello…

The kids I know at Duke have been playing since kindergarten/ 1st grade.[/quote]

+1. This makes sense to me. If a child has been playing violin for years but isn't quite up to making it into Duke for violin, they could still switch to one of the instruments that orchestra programs are always short on (viola, cello, bass, etc.). I did that switch in high school because my orchestra needed more cellos and had too many violins. [/quote]
