I agree. The study of art, be it music, painting, sculpting, dancing, is such a beautiful thing and needed in our culture and to enrich our lives. We don’t have to be experts to appreciate it.
I always say that thanks to artists, human beings have been able to step in the next civilization level. Without art, we could just still be in prehistorical era, considering how easy left brain people adapt themselves 🙂
