Regarding the overloads on high schoolers "these days":

Several outstanding young musicians in our area (Denver) choose to home
school. They do rigorous academic study and play in area symphonies
while omitting all the fluff of the school day.

My own experience with homeschooling resulted sucessfully by the quality
of learning rarther than hours and hours of classes and piles and piles
of busy work. Tony's experience as shown on his web site seems similar.

Mark, surely statistics are not needed to tell us that all _our_ kids
are above average. And the young clarinetists on this list - they
certainly are exceptional !!
