How many people (myself included) have problems enjoying certain classical pieces because at school we had to follow a score with our fingers whilst the teacher walked round making sure we were keeping up? Not the best way to learn to love and appreciate artistic wonders!

Actually, it's only those pieces of classical music I studied at school & college that I've any sort of love for at all. Same goes for Shakespeare - only those plays I did at O & A level have ever made any sense to me or yet had any sort of meaning, emotional or otherwise. Am I unique in that I wonder?
