I couldn't believe it when I heard this, but the kids are just being honest. We've got some serious issues with our education system when kids can't even enjoy music class in my opinion. And these are elementary kids, just as a point of reference.
That's probably because almost no elementary schools have actual music teachers anymore, and as a result it is often taught by teachers who have no background in music and often no real interest in it.
