19. Young musicians are not expected to be good.

All that is expected is that they learn and not be embarrassed or discouraged.

Student musicians of the age shown in the ad should be striving for a characteristic sound on their instrument, being in tune with the rest of the ensemble, and learning to balance and blend. They would be playing Bach chorales for educational purposes and "Bill Grogan's Goat" for fun.

The ad is an insult to student musicians and their teachers.
