sorry to disagree with you butternut squash, at school we have jazz bands, steel bands, church choirs, rock bands, gospel choirs too.. the fact that we encourage our daughter to go further, doesn't mean we want her to become perfect or professional. but we do want her to express herself through music.. that's the point, and with the right level of tuition the music stays with her for life like a companion, if she ever gets to play at a big venue like the royal albert hall, then its about those life experiences we celebrate. she has played and sung at guildhall, it's never lost on me that most of the hall is filled with decent working class people, therefore i see these venues are for us. we've heard the salvation army and countless other voluntary groups perform there too, so the exposure is not lost on our girl.
