I have to say that of all the amazing reasons to stay in the EU, the preservation of institutions who use taxpayers money to provide music - that an elite has decided has massive cultural value - to same said elite, is the absolute worst of the lot

How do you know that music is only exposed to an elite?

I'm not going to get on a high horse, but if you want a nation of creative, confident people, and our political 'leaders' claim this is fundamental for our future economic prosperity, then exposing children to music and getting them involved in producing that music is one of the best ways we have. It's certainly better than anything Michael fucking Gove came up with in his time as Education Secretary.
