It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: Of Course It's the Problem.........

I'm quite prepared to believe that audiences in different cultures and countries might be more receptive to classical music or culture in general - the less they are exposed to mass-stimulation media as in the USA the more they may read and take more time over things that matter on a deeper level.

But in the USA I just don't see it, I'm afraid. Audience reaction from Japan doesn't refute the situation in the USA.

"The root problem is in the network media..... We never had a problem with kids becoming familiar with classical music up to the mid 1960s"

It was the kids that changed as a result of the new audio-visual interactive environment. Yes - the media partly triggered the change, but now they're also following the results of it. It's the whole argument about production and consumption - do we create the media or does the media create us. It's usually both. Just airing live concerts won't have the effect these days it had in the pre-1960s, which was also more of a radio era in any case.

And in any case, internet sites are more widely used by kids these days than broadcast media.
