thats a great point. And thats also why I never lasted in music lessons as a child. I had no intent and interest in learning to play that stuff. I wanted to learn how to play an instrument so I could learn and play music contemporary of my generation. Although the classics are useful to teach theory and such, I still think that some teachers are just too much into it that some students get completely turned off from proceeding with the lessons.
