Lack of exposure might be one reason, but exposure for exposure's sake ends
up with little to gain, if the children aren't taught the analytical and
aethetics skills necessary to appreciate the music, skills that are very
much lacking in our public institutions, yet are so valuable is so many
different fields.  On the other hand there is so much to gain, musical and
otherwise, if children are taught critical thinking skills and aesthetics
at an early age, and are therefore able to appreciate both the beauty of
the music and the skill behind it...
