Is listening to classical music necessary if my child already listens to pop keyboard music?
A. Some pop music is entertaining in measure, but Chopin still has much more to offer the serious piano student in the way of advancing that student’s education. An analogy is that ‘Harry Potter’ might be a fun read for some people, but you’ll do much more for your development as a writer by reading Dostoyevsky, Cervantes, Fitzgerald and Homer. Then, you can go on to write your own billion-dollar pop serial.
