I think that Dr. Owen and everyone else is right. I think that as music educators we should give everyone the chance to participate in music and to feel the emotions associated with the music. I think there is a point where if they haven't progressed through private instruction and are thinking about going further in the field of music (aka college) then something should be said to that student. If the student simply enjoys themself in the ensemble then I would allow them to perform with the general ensemble and let them be happy doing what they can in the group.

I don't think that the conductor should immediately kick the student out. I think they should work with them and give them an ultamatum where they have a time limit to show some imporovement that would hold promise for the success of the group as a whole. Its not fair to kick a student out just because they don't understand how to perform at a higher level yet. The conductor should help them before taking such drastic measures.
