[quote=Anonymous]When looking at schools who sing the praises of their visual and performing arts departments, take a look at the schedules and staffing. Is one person teaching a wide range of grades? Are the classes scattered in a manner that is inconsistent? Are the offerings solely extra curricular? This will tell you where the school actually places value. It is incredibly difficult to have a fantastic arts program without consistency in the schedule and staffing. In order to build skills and refine performances students need to do this more than twice a week which is what most schools end up offering at some levels. In a smaller private school it will be very hard to gain the number of students required for ensembles— likely why middle school students were added to a high school show. [/quote]
