I'm not sure who you meant that for. I have four and now five young grandkids. I'm happy their parents are putting their safety and health first. Fortunetly they all live in districts that are smart enough not to risk the students, teachers, staff, bus drivers lives. Sure it's best for kids to go to school but this won't last forever.

As far as the Quote. "We don’t have the right to take music away from kids."
Postponing an Applied college music education for one year for safety reasons and getting your money's worth is not taking music away from anyone but so many school districts K-12 have been doing that for many years now to save money.

Karl, as far as conservatory curriculum goes, every one is different. There are many subjects required besides lessons and ensembles. And it's true a college student can get ahead on some of those over the internet but would you want to pay your full tuition to take a few "classroom" courses? If schools would allow a student to pay a part time fee for being a part time student that would make sense. If not they can find out if any course work is transferable from a school they can get the credit from.
