Alex,
Universities don't have much choice. Good musical education should start much earlier. A student who didn't get good training as a child is like an immigrant who learn a new language at university, it will never be as good as someone who spoke the language in his childhood.

let me explaine my self with an example:
Israel is a country of immigration. There is a very good system of Hebrew schools (the Ulpan) , that teaches Hebrew within 6 mounth.
People who were born in Israel learn Bible at school for 12 years (I'm talking about secular schools). We learn the Biblical language, the 'story' and the history.
People who learn Hebrew at the Ulpan speak well but they don't know the Biblical Hebrew and their language will always sound without roots.

Its the same with music- university is like an Ulpan for people who didn't get good education as children.

Good musicians MUST work with children.
Sarah
