Educators and their critics have been misguided and too easily dismissive
of music
education, IMO. It doesn't matter what you do later in life; music is one
of the
"enrichers" that make us human and in aggregate makes life better. Where
would we be
if arithmetic was simply deemed "not worth the trouble so let's not teach
it any

you see
the point, I think.)
Already more than half-way, for some.
