<p>Thank you, Bassdad, for your detailed responses - you’re very helpful. Actually, piano is my main instrument (I wouldn’t even think of auditioning to the Conservatory as a flutist!); it’s been a pretty successful year for me piano-wise - I won a prize two months ago in an international competition/am entering more; still, based on what you’ve said about the competition for flute, I’m not sure that I’ll get in for piano, either - do you know anything about the entrance difficulty for pianists? Thanks again!</p>
