How does one know that they are conservatory material? I understand that you have to be dedicated to your instrument and know that it is something that you dedicate yourself to. But how would one know that they are ready for or even should try attending a conservatory for undergraduate study? Is it strictly for child prodigies? Are there any sure signs that one would be ready for such a rigorous program of studies? And how common is it for students to last through all four years of study? Is there a relatively high dropout rate after a year or so? I'm very curious about these schools... Any info would be appreciated.
