On Music Education

Bob Lefsetz:

First we met Seth Godin at Maison du Chocolat. It was fascinating to hear him riff on music education, Felice's world. He lamented teachers married to excellence, performance of material that most people were not enamored of. He boiled it down to a sense of mastery. That by learning how to play an instrument, a child experienced a sense of accomplishment. That's the message of music education, not exposing people to the classics or some extrapolation about IQ improvement. That's Seth's gift, the ability to execute an insightful surgical strike, right to the heart of the matter.

Are people ready for it?
