I think a better question might be: why not music? But that's neither here nor there, since this is the a benefit for MusicCorps, a non-profit that styles itself after the Peace Corps. Music education was pretty horrible when I was going to school and it's gotten even worse since then. I got all my practical music theory from books, but there was absolutely no chance to figure out what any of it meant until I hit college. So yes, this MusicCorps is a good thing if it gives kids a chance to come into contact with people who can untangle certain topics like theory and technique. I wish them much luck, even the people on the bill I know and don't like. I wish those guys the most luck of all.
