>Shouldn't we be worried about making musicians rather than making stars?

amen!
there's a high school musician I know of that practices so hard...has such
discipline..it's amazing. but the thing is..when all state auditions roll
around, they don't get the chair they expected to get. They beat
themselves to death! They want to give up music, and playing all together!
It hurts to see young people with so much talent to deny it, and want to
quit just because of an all-state audition! I just tell them to take that
like a grain of salt. Here in Tennessee, the All-state auditions are so
unfair, it's unbelievable.
