Please Support Music Education

There’s no classical music theory. There’s however music theory for all types of music called solfeggio. Learning music theory without given talent of natural hearing for music is waste of time. Hearing for music can’t develop. Either it’s there or it’s not and pushing music onto public schools for everyone isn’t fair.

Wow, i cant even begin to respond to that.

I'm a musician & can't go one single day without listening to music but you can't encourage people to be passionate about music. It's in your blood or not.

That’s a really odd reply. I am suggesting we spend a lot less on education than other nations, and that making music education available to all is important.

If students are never exposed to music, they can never be passionate about it. I’m not suggesting we should make musicians, or force people to like music. I am saying we are impoverishing our children by denying them the opportunity to learn at an early age.  Just like we do with art or history.  Music is more than something you buy. It's how you connect with and affect your peers.

In the US we spend less on music education than any other industrialized nation.  That's the definition of poverty to me.


Best,
