The so called ''School'' that we have in this day of age, is all about trying to teach you to make money. When you're not getting an education, just getting facts and opinions drilled into your head instead of inspiring you to follow your dreams and motives which is what an education is suppose to be

I recently watched a youtube video in which the Alexis I Dupont H.S. Band Director Paul Parets said "There are several hundred trophies here on the walls. The nice thing is every one of them is a first place." This is a great example of what is wrong with music education and why it is dying. Music "educators" are so obsessed with winning that they are not teaching appreciation for music to their students. When those students become adults, they do not support music education and programs die.
