Well, I can certainly measure the ability of a student to improvise, which is the thrust of my post...and the fact is that some can not improvise to save their lives, and that they usually turn out to be the oldest child. Obviously, I don't ask what their sibling placement is when they book in as a student, and improvising is a long way down the track from there.
I can only call it as I see it..and, after 35 years, I think I have seen it enough to form an opinion without being concerned about so-called labeling and sterotypes.
If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, looks like a duck, and it can't improvise..then it is probably the oldest duckling.
