[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I clicked on this link because my child is an enthusiastic musician and I was hoping to learn more about how competitive it is to get into the District’s arts magnet school.  Instead it’s another thread about how it accepts students from outside the District.  There are so many of these threads this has become tiresome to those of us who actually want to find out more about the school.  I’m sympathetic to your position but enough already.[/quote]

It really depends on the department, the instrument, and number of competitive applicants. In general, advanced music reading is important but there are varying degrees of proficiency for new students.  The expectation is that music applicants have formal foundation.[/quote]

I agree, enough already. The level of competitiveness changes across  program and finding what the number of applicant v's places per programs is impossible.

In terms of artistic level for the instruments, the piano level is very high, see what is being played at ABRSM level 8 and above to get an idea. There are only about 4 or 5 places for piano admissions per year from what I can work out. [/quote]
