A case of musical compassion fatigue,
with classical music agony aunt ALICE McVEIGH
I shared what seemed to me to be a completely reasonable aspirational campaign on Facebook :
CAMPAIGN FOR FREE INSTRUMENTAL LESSONS AT SCHOOL
I wrote:
Please sign — kids need music. It develops their hearts, minds, ability to listen, ability to communicate, ability to make friends — oh, and incidentally improves their grades, in a world that seems to care for that above everything.
Not one of my friends 'liked' it...
