A true purpose

I know it has been a while since I last posted, this is due to being in Colorado for my brother's wedding. With this trip came wonderful time to reflect on the plane, and what better to reflect on then CPIII? Yes there are many things, however, because of the music listened to, and the enjoyment everyone had as a result of this music, I was fascinated.

Why is it in music education we can not have an entire school singing? Why can we not destroy the barrier between "music geek" and "jock?" Why do we hear booming basses(the car type) in the parking lot in "souped-up"/ "tricked-out" cars, yet there's a strong feeling of anxiety toward a chorus room?

I can not figure out where the barrier lies. If it were possible to attract those musically talented students on the outside, who enjoy music and perform what they listen to in their cars quite well, I can only presume that a choir with these voices would be spectacular. But how do we attract them to the music room...?
