My statement " Most African American children do not even have the opportunity to learn about or participate in classical music. Cultural influences should be left alone'
A perfect example of a cultural difference. If you are 6'2" tall 220 lbs 5% body fat, run a 4.2 40 and grew up in America. Good chance you played football as a kid and maybe even persued a pro football career. If you were the same stature and speed and grew up in New Zealand good chance you played rugby and persued a position on the All Blacks.That is a cultural difference and I believe in leaving those alone.
If you were a kid in either country who was never allowed to play sports you were denied an opportunity to be an athlete.
Classical music is a patron art. For kids to learn about it and participate in a meaningful way costs money. And there in lies the problem.We do all kids a disservice by not providing funding for these opportunities. But it does not hold back kids of people with money. Money is opportuniy and people with money can give their kids all the opportunities they need or want. Most African American kids simply don't have that. We need look no further than the horrible country of Venezuela to see this is plainly true. there is one thing that country does do right. Classical music out reach.
