Please give me your comments .
Are they equally hard to get in? Fees to the value? Children's future is brighten up or narrowed down? Or anything else .

Completely different aren't they? one is saturday school and one is full time boarding. I would have thought ym is much harder to get in to although pretty cheap if you are from uk.

Personally I wouldn't want to send my child to a specialist school. I feel that you are narrowing their choices, almost pushing them in to music. Vast majority of professional musicians went to normal comps - based on dh's colleagues. He knows 3 people who went to chethams - one is highly strung and still in music, the other 2 went in to different professions.
