homemade noize

I found this article on from the BBC.  It is interesting to me that elsewhere the government is at least interested in musical education.  Unfortunately the US it is quite the opposite.  The arts in general are being cut form curriculums and generally disregarded by the educational bureaucrats despite study after study showing the value of arts education.   There seems only the desire to create test takers rather than well rounded people.  Well rounded people tend to be the real force behind for economic and social improvement.  Good test takers only make good bureaucrats that do not appreciate music or art.

With the real estate bubble burst  and the property values that fund education shrinking it most likely will only get worse.

Sad.
