Music Education and Elitism

A few days ago, Laurie Niles at Violinist.com, writing about the importance of arts education, gave the most concise and spot-on counterargument I’ve ever seen to the notion that arts education is elitist:

“People need education to appreciate music and art. Some might feel this idea is ‘elitist.’ It's only elitist if music and art education is given to some, and withheld from others.”

EXACTLY. I should probably just stop writing here, because I think those three sentences say it all.
