A question about the RNCM

[lisztfan1]

Hello.

I have a friend who went to the RNCM a while ago. He was a serious pianist, and he told me that there seemed to be a lot of people there who did not seem serious. He also told me that a lot of people outside the college say 'you don't go to the RNCM if you want to be a concert pianist', and a few people don't rate it highly with regards to this profession. Maybe there is a different purpose to the RNCM. Can someone please enlighten me?

Thanks
