JOSEPP - dude... shut up. "anything less damages our culture" ??? do you have any idea how many great musicians out there couldn't read sheet music? or didn't give a SHIT whether you called it a B sharp or a C?? get over yourself. If you want to be a professor of music, by all means hold yourself to the highest standards of learning and study. I'm sure it makes you feel like you're a "better musician" than everyone else because quote: (in an erkel-like voice) " I was taught by college-level musicians" Not everyone has the luxury of being able to afford quality music lessons, and 9 times out of 10, your local music instructor is a non-college-educated, unemployed person who has no other way of making money besides teaching kids the few musical skills they have acquired over their years. If you pay 20 bucks a week for guitar lessons from a dude that looks like ronnie james dio, don't be surprised if he's got a few MINOR misconceptions about the trivial nuances that you seem to think are SO important. Stop worrying about whether the kid calls it a B-sharp or a C, and listen to the music he's playing. you might be surprised. unless you're too big of a snob to appreciate it, which i have a feeling you are.
