along those lines, there was an article in the Boston Globe last year about hundreds of musical instruments rotting in attics and basements of schools because there are no longer anywhere near as many musical instruction programs (budget cuts and all)--no money to pay the teachers, and probably less interest from kids (who now have video games and Pokemon to take up their time). When I learned of this I wanted to immediately implement a program where local musicians would donate their time, say, two hours a week, to give workshops to get kids interested in learning an instrument...and once interest was established, to see if the city would donate money to hire musicians to then lead classes in the instruments of their specialization or private lessons...as long as the instruments were there to be used, rotting away and collecting dust...
