That one sentence says it all.  If we want the next generation to have an
interest in classical music, we parents need to encourage that early.  My
guess is that many parents who are interested in such music do take their
kids as soon as they are old enough.  But what about the ones who aren't,
i.e., the vast majority? How do we get the word to them and then pass it
on to their children.  The challenge of our age.
