On average, 24.3% of young children will enjoy "such experiences."

Jocelyn, well known for her distate of "modernist" music, is projecting her
dislikes on to other persons.  Other list members in the past have strongly
stated their liking of modernist composers, but Jocelyn will have none of
that.  I have no idea what any of those children would think; there's no
good reason for any preconceptions.
