i am only advocating them strongly because it is a good way of raising revenue, therefore it is good business sense, i do have reservations about competitions and homeogeonisation of style.
tuition can be handled differently from the comhaltas model, but can still be useful.
examinations raise revenue, and they can be handled differently, by excluding marks for style.
styles are something people shouldbe exposed to through listening ,perhapsas part of tuition then they should be allowed to make up their own minds, how they wish to play., not be encouraged to play a certain way through a biased marking system
