It was not a secret, then or now, that there is something vaguely un-American about forcing your child to be really good at classical music performance.

It's kind of scary sometimes, I've seen this a lot in Asia. Children are given music lessons, very intensively I might add and involving great technical expertise sometimes, but you can tell that they have been told only to play happy pleasant music.
We want people to know that classical music is for everyone. A parent or kid might be terrified of this music, but after they come to us, they'll never be scared of classical music again.
I played classical as a kid.
I was born out of classical music.
My mom had this romantic notion of her children playing classical music. The idea is you learn it when you're still learning language. It's using the same part of the brain.
Kids these days don't know as much about music as they think they do.
If children are not introduced to music at an early age, I believe something fundamental is actually being taken from them.
Some children's music is aimed just at kids, and it can be very childlike.
There are definitely things about 'Legendary Child' that echo the music we did earlier in our career. It's got the right stuff.
It is so important for people at a young age to be invited to embrace classical music and opera.
