[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] It's not like the Boston Conservatory is going to say, Billie, we know you had a keyboard rather than a piano to practice on and never took a formal lesson in your life but we think you are more talented than Zhao (who studied with a former Julliard professor) so we are offering you the spot over Zhao. It really doesn't matter that Zhao practiced 4 hours a day for 10 years and you've practiced 30 minutes a day for 2 years and are early intermediate at best and Zhao can perform advanced pieces flawlessly. It's talent, hard work, and yes access that make someone successful. I have a kid who plays music "seriously" but the amount of time and effort that I spend as a parent to make this happen is not repeatable by the government. The government can't afford to clone me and people like me (hours and hours per day support and all the driving etc).
