2) listening pointless
3) composing is composulsary which takes up 25% of the test
4) many other requirements which r totally unnecessary.
no wonder scotland hardly ever produces well known musicians. i certaining cannot think of 1 off hand. they all come from russia, germany, france and others. y? maybe it is because they dont have stupid pointless exams which takes up too much of ur practice time and which is of no help to ur musical career what so ever? thats my opinion anyway.

1- There is no money for the arts.
2- No school has ever refused my services
3- Every teacher that I encounter has nothing but praise for the music program.
I personally think it is up to us, the classical music lovers , to see to it that programs like this are brought to our schools. Don't wait for the towns or the schools to act, they don't have the resources. All it takes is a couple of hours a week of volunteer work to bring, what has been in my case, a very successful project.
The schools PTO's supply the funds I need for materials. The payback is watching the students, grades 2 thru 5, interact to the stories and music of the composers. Of course Beethoven is at the very top of the list with the students. We have a Beethoven Competition for the 5th graders that is a big favorite. Anyone with the time to spare try it you love it. I guess when it comes to picking the subjects taught in school, Math, reading and writing come first, but there is a place for music, Classical music.
