Welcome to the CCC project for 21st century musical learning and sharing!
If we want kids to love music we have to rethink a lot of what we do around the way things are taught in general. Give kids more choices about what they’re doing. Stop offering rewards for success which implicitly devalue whatever you have to do to get the reward and above all stop turning it into a contest.
