Or had a full proper music class? You don't get those until grade 7 here, and usually the teacher is woefully underprepared to actually achieve anything resembling music. When I moved here I was more musically developed than our fresh out of university teacher who had never once ever even played in a professional band!

You're not going to convince me that Canadian education is anything other than at best a horrible joke, and at worst much, much worse.
Perhaps you were placed in a remedial class because of your German education?
Haha. I'm kidding.
