Part of the information was also used to fuel the Thoughty2 youtube video posted elsewhere here. Also, the first part gives no reference to what survey it is referring to and the chart is quite amateurish with a low sample rate and from where?

The AI from Spain (same as video mentioned.)
"Besides the decline of music literacy and participation, there has also been a decline in the quality of music which has been proven scientifically by Joan Serra, a postdoctoral scholar at the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute of the Spanish National Research Council in Barcelona. Joan and his colleagues looked at 500,000 pieces of music between 1955-2010, running songs through a complex set of algorithms examining three aspects of those songs.."etc

I think people need to be aware of sites that just aggregate data and redress it for some relabeling. It is also "written" by a guy that provides financial services? Weird.
sejodiren,

I agree completely with you!
I played guitar many years ago. But it was by ear only. 
I never could go far.
So, I decided to stop.

My best guitarist is Baden Powell. Genius.
By the way, most conservatories have prep programs offered to kids and adults. As for typical college departments, it could vary.
