Sir John Reith, the first head of the BBC, was asked if he was going to give the people what they wanted. No, he said, something better than that. We will inform, educate and entertain them.
Music does this for us already! Listening to music is a pleasure and is certainly entertaining. With instruction, we learn how to appreciate the magnificent works of our greatest composers. There are so many different kinds of music, each with its geniuses and outstanding pieces. Teachers who present them in informative and interesting ways, with an evident love of music, are blessings to children.
One of my favorite experiences is to listen to Clayton Scott bring opera and ballet to life. The experience is as easy and pleasurable as hearing an exciting story being read for the first time. With a guide such as Clayton, even very young children learn to listen and watch with great discernment to operas and ballet. For adults, the experience is enlightening and enlarging.
