Learning music makes sense if you are interested in it and can hear the nuances of sound. I was not interested in it, and my hearing has always been less than nominal (passed every hearing test, but cannot pick up the nuances).
I was extremely good at math and history, but had a hard time in English and was useless in music (I was kid played the triangle.).
It wasn't until I was in my mid-twenties that it was discovered that I really don't hear the nuances. Inflection and accents aren't lost, just not very clear.
I am not addressing the idea of pushing a kid to do what they don’t want to do. I mean that it is such a waste that parents don’t put on good music when the child is an infant and into preschool years.
