Yes!!!
Okay, but what about lowering technical barriers to creativity? The thing is, those barriers are one inch tall. If you can play the black keys on the piano, or play a single chord on the guitar or ukulele, or select loops from the GarageBand loop library, or pound out a steady rhythm on a table, that is all the instrumental backing you need to get going. The obstacles to musical creativity have nothing to do with equipment or money or education or anything else, they are one hundred percent psychological. The challenge of music education is to help the kids give themselves emotional permission to be as musical as they were when they were toddlers. Everything else is extra.

this year’s Christmas present design project: tiny laser cut houses with tea lights inside

the tea lights are electric don’t worry (the laser ply is more fireproof than I thought but I’m taking no responsibility)
