When I was in school (specifically New York State public school) in the '80s, there was a ton of music education available:...
Such was the case for me in high school and I had ZERO interest in any of that. Music appreciation? Are we going to cover Yes, Golden Earring, Led Zeppelin and Emerson, Lake & Palmer? :)
Music, yes. Just not those programs. And yet I found my way when I was ready.

Sorry -- I didn't mean to imply that, unless you were fed a steady diet of music appreciation and theory in high school, you had no chance of connecting with this music later in life. My post was more "macro" in nature ... it considered how to get *everyone* and not just the exceptions (that may prove the rule?) on board.
Apology unnecessary. Just observing there are alternative ways. As for me, I wasn't ready for most classical before college age.
I recall Mrs. Poole bringing her autoharp in the 7th grade to teach music where we were forced to sing hits like Bird in Banana Tree .
Since I was already listening to a range of "cooler" 60s rock and James Bond soundtracks, I was bored to death. Not participating wasn't an option.
I quickly learned that all I needed to do was move my mouth and wait for recess! :)
