" It's not a surprise for me where there's almost no school that even introduces what is music to children."

My daughter goes to a decent public middle school and has been learning violin there for 2 years. She's no Heifetz yet, but certainly getting a great introduction. Other than that, what kids hear or experience musically is another story, but not much different than when I was a kid her age 40 years ago.

Classical music is still fairly popular in Austria I've been told, at least as reflected in the cost of attending preimier events in premier venues there.

The traditional "arts" including classical music still have a strong core going in cities like NY, Boston, and even Baltimore, near where I live. It'll never be "popular" music though. THat will always be a different breed.

It's nice to know that we have finally reached racial equality. I know this because the White Redneck Boys next door to me only listen to Black Hip Hop and Rap in their pickups.
