I would have to agree with Ginny regarding to the level of music that kids should play, however being at college myself i can understand why younger people choose harder pieces to play. I don't believe teachers are truely to blame but often it is the fact that the student has set goals to high to early.

As for the drugs that assist in calming nevres i believe that if the performer wishes to use them then by all means they should as long as they understand whatever risks are associated. Nevertheless i also believe that by using these drugs the performer would probably ( but not definately )never reach their full potential. Everyone gets a stage fright before they perform how they handle it is really what matters in the long run and if you can harness it without drugs then it gives a thrill to you as you play and a real lift when you get to the end successfully. maybe these drugs don't deminish this feeling but i doubt it.
