Why has the attitude toward popular music been so negative in school?
One reason for the furrowed brows when mentioning popular music in some institutions is that many singers who record and make these songs popular have had no training at all. But that doesn’t mean there is anything wrong with the music. A lot of it is marvelous. It’s not all good, though, just like music written in any style is not all good. Traditional styles just happen to have had more time to screen out the bad material.
