Salvage says he doesn't think the fact that Harvard doesn't have a performance major is detrimental to the musical environment, and that the fault of Harvard as an intense academic institution does not lie with the music department.
But Kelly says that students who want to pursue music know that they compromise in their musical training by choosing Harvard. Others, he said, might well benefit from being part of a smaller program that concentrates on performance and practice.
"I think they've chosen to make a sacrifice, and that mostly means their personal time," Kelly says. "Once they're here, the standards of performance are things they need to set for themselves."
Coady says he has reservations about MCAS. What he wants, he says, is an annual assessment so student performance can be monitored year-to-year, rather than waiting for MCAS scores at grades 4, 8 and 10.
This spring for the first time, a diploma will be on the line for sophomores taking MCAS. And next year, the eighth-graders taking the test will have taken it as fourth-graders--so their performance can be compared directly.
