The stated purpose of this organization is to be:

"...a national nonprofit that transforms children's lives by restoring and revitalizing music education in disadvantaged public schools."


Music programs have been cut or eliminated in schools, and while a one-on-one teacher/student situation is preferable, neither the schools or these kid's parents can afford that. A program like Joe suggested would be useful, and would allow the kids to progress on their own.


It has absolutely nothing to do with "... a handful of folks on this forum relish the idea of removing humans from the process of teaching, learning and playing music." grin


It has to do with getting inner city kids interested in music, which is a good thing, whether through human teaching or technology.
