Subject: RE: Pre-TV: 70% played music. Post-TV ,5%
5% sounds low to me but I still wouldn't be surprised. TV has rotted alot of minds and wasted alot of time. I watch TV, always with an instrument if I'm alone, but there's live music in my house every day.
There are families trying to break the trend though. I always ask my students what sort of music they have at home and a few of them are the first ones in their immediate family to play anything. Most however have a rich family interest in music. All those other families I wish I could influence...
I can't imagine what my life would have been like without live music.
