This is stupid.
In school they had us practice recorder in ghe 4th grade, ages 9/10. I took accounting in highschool, ages 16/17.
We did both. Not only did we do both, these two lessons were taught at very different stages of education.
Came here to say this, we also learned recorder in 4th grade. If you tried teaching 4th graders about trading securities derivatives you’d have a riot on your hands in less than 5 minutes lol.
Exactly. I also had the thought, if you breakdown music composition, it's basically math. Music is math.
And numerous studies showing the growth in other subjects when music is (actually) taught in elementary. It is crossing the streams, so to speak.
It is also what makes us human, not robots.
I once saw a study where they did a brain scan on someone while playing music. The results were fascinating. I'm bout to double check it's been so long, but I'm near certain it lights up all parts of the brain. Something amazing happens when we play music. It absolutely is a core human experience.

Techno is accounting
The fuck would you ever teach them that for?
They're 10 years old not idiots, they can learn through age appropriate skills such as budgeting and decision making - which can be made into a fun game as can almost anything you want to teach.
