Hmm, Well a musician playing with a good orchestra probably has gone through at least fifteen years of very expensive one-on-one training. And the man hours necessary to prepare for a performance are mind boggling. Consider as well that a good violin sells for about $7000. At least as much as a good computer. Input costs for serious music are considerable.
