I think that it is important to be truthful with the student. If he really wants to be a music major and he has the skill to do it then a music teacher should look at the list of schools the student is thinking about and just explain that some schools out there are really tough to get in and that he should not be upset if he doesn't make it. Another part of that is that some students are not cut out to be music amjors and eventual performers and teachers. When I went to some of my entrance auditions I heard some kids who just had no chance of getting into a school and really never had a chance to get a job. I think as music teachers we have a reponsibility to be honest with the good students and the students who are not as musically talented.
