<p>A lot more could be done in the schools - why isn’t there AP Music History, for example? There’s Art History and kids for the rest of their lives will be able to go into museums and enjoy the art more than would have otherwise, because they will have some sense of the periods of art, etc. I took music history in high school in LA in the 60’s and a lot of it stuck with me - and it led me as I grew older to try listening to classical music - and I was, by my mid-20’s, very interested in classical music - at least the standards: Bach, Beethoven (not Brahms) - it was when my kids got into classical music that I became more knowledgeable and interested in contemporary and also 19th century music. So much of this is exposure. Kids now learn about jazz and become quite excited about it. I have no doubt that kids taught properly could be very excited about classical music long before they turn gray. Dream on…I know…</p>
