I enjoy this type of setting also. I think its a more child friendly
environment and we need to expose our children to more music any way we can.
I think some people forget they were once children themselves. I hear so
many complaining about the lackof support for the orchestras but I really
think the key is educating and exposing the children to great music in a
manner they can comprehend. I also think perhaps orchestras managers and
directors need to take a good hard look at exactly what type of music their
audiences will want to pay to listen to. Christy
