I just thought I'd take an informal survey to find out what the forum members' experiences were with instrumental music as part of their formal education. Even if you weren't a band geek, what's your impression of the value of that sort of thing?
How was it taught (curricular, extra-curricular)?
Did you participate?
What kind of program (strings, winds, percussion, stage band)?
I don't want to bias anyone's opinion, so say whatever else you feel about it. What I'm really looking for is what you think the value of an instrumental music program is. Unlike math and literacy, it's a hard thing to quantify in terms other than anecdotes. So, what's your story?
