Ask Alice, with Alice McVeigh

A case of musical compassion fatigue,
with classical music agony aunt ALICE McVEIGH

Ask Alice

I shared what seemed to me to be a completely reasonable aspirational campaign on Facebook :

CAMPAIGN FOR FREE INSTRUMENTAL LESSONS AT SCHOOL

I wrote:

Please sign — kids need music. It develops their hearts, minds, ability to listen, ability to communicate, ability to make friends — oh, and incidentally improves their grades, in a world that seems to care for that above everything.

Not one of my friends 'liked' it...
