Day 73 The Mozart School of Music should be the first choice for parents considering enrolling their child in music lessons

The following appeared on the Mozart School of Music Website.

“The Mozart School of Music should be the first choice for parents considering enrolling their child in music lessons. First of all, the Mozart School welcomes youngsters at all ability and age levels; there is no audition to attend the school. Second, the school offers instruction in nearly all musical instruments as well a wide range of styles and genres from classical to rock. Third, the faculty includes some of the most distinguished musicians in the area. Finally, many Mozart graduates have gone on to become well-known and highly paid professional musicians.”

Write a response in which you examine the stated and/or unstated assumptions of the argument. Be sure to explain how the argument depends on these assumptions and what the implications are for the argument if the assumptions prove unwarranted.

五问：

（1）“The Mozart School of Music should be the first choice for parents considering enrolling their child in music lessons”是结论，其余部分是事实，值得反驳吗？

（2）没有选拔机制的学校一定是一所好学校吗？你能够想到对于一个学校来说，进行选拔可能带来的一些优势吗？比如因材施教、提高竞争意识等。另外，在没有其他音乐学校作为对比的情况下，能说 Mozart School of Music是家长的首选吗？也许别的学校在学费、教学等方面更有优势呢？

（3）教授的乐器范围庞大、音乐风格多样一定是好事吗？你能想到这种做法有可能带来的问题吗？是否可能会导致学生在学习中走马观花、浅尝辄止？教学质量能够保证吗？

（4）最好的音乐家就一定是最好的老师吗？你能说说其他的可能性吗？比如，更有耐心的教师可能比著名的音乐家更适合教学，而著名的音乐家不一定懂如何教学。

（5）学校的优秀毕业生的成果能够简单地等同于即将入学的新生的成绩吗？为什么不能等同？也许这些优秀毕业生更多是通过个人努力和天赋而成功的，学校起到的作用很小。
