~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In 2017 two of us offered to teach high school students guitar. No one was interested. They actually perceived the notion that they would ever want to as strange. They are LISTENERS and consumers, they don’t see a need for them to learn to play when you can download or stream everything.

That was a small school so there’s that. But it was as if the “need” to sing or play music has atrophied.
