Music theory professors disagree whether it's called a V6/4 chord or a I6/4 chord.
Pianists fiercely debate whether it's called an "accompanist" or a "collaborative pianist."
Music educators get into it over whether Orff, Kodaly, Gordon, or Suzuki is the best way to teach young children.
In the conservatory, students and teachers argue and pine over the articulation of three measures of a Beethoven sonata.
Meanwhile, the rest of the world doesn't care. Outside these ivory towers, the arguments and catfights mean nothing.
Because most people don't listen to classical music. Many households don't listen to music period.
Makes the debates seem kinda silly, right?
What matters is how we bring music to everyone. How we share it, how we teach it, and how we celebrate it.
Bringing out the music that resides in every human.
Now, that's something worth fighting for.
