[quote=Anonymous]As a family that had one kid in a private independent and one kid in a large public, the arts were far better in public, and I'd say this is mostly because of the numbers interested in participating and demographics of the school population (some cultures clearly value the arts more than sports.) Mastering an instrument takes more than a few hours at school - there must be outside time devoted to it as well. Because there were more kids and greater interest the quality of the public program and instruction was just hands down better (and let's face it, it would be much more fun for an instructor to have a full orchestra with competitive placement). My daughter was an accomplished cellist, and she was only one of many in her orchestra. My son's music program at a private was pretty sad honestly. And I attribute this not to the instructors, but the small numbers of kids interested in participating, especially at a higher level.[/quote]
