i'm amazed. In australia, kids have lessons and after a year probably join a
band. The top bands at high school would have 99% of their students having
tuition, and the director merely conducts and does not teach in rehersal
time. Music is seen as a fun thing, but i wouldn't say it's to let off
steam- sport is seen for that here. Classroom music as a subject at school
is very hard; there's more assessment than any other subject.
