Hi there,
Just been reading your posts about this kid Bliss... From the British
independent sector of the unverse I must put my point of view forward.
Believe it or not I am in my last year at secondry school in the UK. I know
of one exceptional pianist, a good friend of mine who has past her diploma
with Honours at the age of 17. However, she has been told that she had to
come to my current school so that she could at least get a grounding in
other subjects other than music before getting an unconditional offer to The
Birmingham Conservitoire.... for everyone not in the Uk it's a fab school
for mucicians. I agree that this Bliss kid should have not been taken out of
his own school just because he's mega talented... isn't he just gonna be
confused by not knowing whether he's coming or going? He should definately
come back home....
Helen
