And, of course, none of those performers or the audience learned any music except pop. OK. Sure.
“And, of course, none of those performers or the audience learned any music except pop. OK. Sure.”
I did not say “none”, I did say the majority never learned or were trained in classical music - the majority.
Its a funny thing - about our schools of music. The majority of our most well known and most successsful musicians never attended them; and a majority of those who have attended them are in the ranks of the always struggling and seldom very successful musicians, except for the few who are able to get into the extremely limited number of slots in the music welfare state that live classical music performance organizations have become.
The best thing that could happen to classical music would be to get the classical music performance companies off the public dole in every way, like most the rest of the music world is.
