I am not at all surprised by this. In the many years I taught I have seen music both in state schools and in Universities eroded to the point where it is non existent. It is seen by the so called "liberal" left as elitists and therefore it must be expunged from the schools and Universities. A shame, music for all in schools was a great equalizer and students could enjoy lessons for free. In universities it has faded away along with art history and general culture courses...the revenge of the Philistines !
