About this Quote

Billy Joel's quote talks to the minimal alternatives available to young musicians in the past. At the time, the only way to seek secondary education and learning in music was to participate in a classic conservatory. This meant that young artists were restricted to examining symphonic music, and also had no accessibility to other genres such as jazz, rock, or pop. This quote likewise talks with the lack of diversity in music education at the time, as symphonic music was the only alternative readily available. It is a tip of just how much music education has actually come since then, with many more alternatives available to young artists today. It is additionally a suggestion of the significance of diversity in music education and learning, and just how it can open up brand-new opportunities for young artists.
