That would be great!
But when I hear what the kids play on their phones, it's mostly trap and hip hop. No matter their age, really. Clearly the really huge genres right now.

They're mostly being used by the 4, 5 and 6 graders. But yeah, within a couple weeks, some of them were already getting a handle on it pretty good.
The school bought them specifically because they would be simpler to learn than full size acoustic guitars.

music as a skill rather than an art imo

the "professional" music world seems much much more restrictive than the writing world or visual arts

All music theory and no art make Adam Neely a dull boy.

I guess I don't see as sharp a divide, since I expect that any musician who will have anything to say musically won't take any harm from learning a bunch of tools in-depth.

The muso-robots bred from music academia wouldn't have had much to give the world musically if they had taken another path. I basically don't think it's formal music education that's the problem.

Muso-robots don't occur in a vacuum mate, they're a product of the textbook methods of music education that force a dichotomy between performers and composers (not intentionally, they're just furthering an archaic philosophy of music), which is why said robots are so prominent in academia.

I'm just saying it's a bad approach

But being forced to rehearse music nobody wants to hear while marching at the goddamn football game probably turns off some talented individuals

TBF I've known band kids and they were never going to be more exciting than a John Philip Sousa cover band under any circumstances.

Any high school band ever probably.

dharma ok cool!
seriously i also think that a little music theory wont harm anyone and its not going to destroy your talent or creational self or whatever. in many cases it will also save you time from doing useless-already tried-experiments.
thats mostly impressions that i got talkin with friends and occasionally friend's friends who play music, i dont have a personal experience.
