I went to Catholic schools from first grade through college, and we had music every semester. In grade school, we learned hymns and Gregorian chant in choir practice, and I think classroom music was mostly folk songs and songs from musicals, and lots of Stephen C. Foster. "Goober Peas" and "Long, Long Ago" are two that stick in my memory, alsong with "Camptown Races" and "O Susanna" (which I learned in harmonica band).

In high school, we had a year of classical music appreciation and identification, a year of theory, and a year that exposed us to popular music.

College was chant and hymns, and music theory - I was in a Catholic seminary for high school and college.
