Hi!
I just thought of something.
As you said, learning music is like learning a foreign language. So why not count it as such? At my school, between P.E. (required), academic courses (required), German (foreign language required), and band, i have time for 4 electives. If band could count as a foreign language, that would give me two more free electives, and thus more exposure to the real world.
Not to say that i don't like German, it's a great language, but what about the friends of mine, who had to drop spanish to keep their GPA up, but are fluent musicians?
Just a thought.
