I have read numerous articles in past years expressing concern that kids just aren't learning musical instruments as much anymore. Money, opportunity and interest all play a factor in the decrease in musicality in the modern generation.
I was chatting with some of my students today and I asked them what instruments they played.
"Aw, Ms. Warren, my parents made me learn violin," complained one student.
"I studied cello for years," explained another.
"My parents spent a lot of money to get me Rock Bank," stated a student. "I have been really practicing for the last few years and I think I'm getting really good."
Hey, why bother learning real guitar when you can just bust out your skills in a video game?
