Re Interview, Judith Balfe, Opinion, Feb. 25: My ticket to the magic and creative world of music started in 1958 with a 10-cent school bus ride from Bell Gardens Elementary to the L.A. Philharmonic. With the downbeat of the conductor’s baton, a whole new world became alive before my eyes and filled my ears with a love and appreciation of music that grows to this day.
It’s not too late to inspire and educate through music. A string or wind ensemble can travel to the elementary schools where children await with open minds and ears.
How sad a sociologist was selected to coauthor the National Endowment for the Arts study on the high arts, rather than an arts educator to champion the cause of music education.
