To be honest, the world is quite strange. You are supposed to know how to play the piano - and well, before you go to music university.

Somehow people who study medicine are not expected to have medical knowledge. Precursors sure.

Of course I understand that it is a question of supply and demand, for some reason tons of people compete to finish the relatively scarce music university, so the university can demand them to know stuff.

Just like in a Chinese musical school, something like 98% are supposed to have perfect pitch. Because they have enough applicants to fill the school even with that bar.
