If we taught music the way we teach writing, students would have one unit on playing the flute
followed by a recital attended only by the teacher.
Then students would do one study unit on playing the piano
followed by a recital attended only by the teacher.
Next, students would do a unit on playing the drums
followed by a recital attended only by the teacher.
The year would culminate in a study unit on playing the violin
followed by a recital attended only by the teacher.
Having put students through this rigorous program of musical instruction, schools would grant students a diploma and send them out into a world that expects them to sing before a worldwide audience while accompanying themselves on a guitar.
