Situation 1:
Every student gets access to music on a rotating basis throughout the year.
Situation 2:
Students can opt to take a music class that runs all year. This means that some students would not be taking music classes.

That making a hit song is easy.
That complex music is inherently good.
That all musics must follow the musical practices of 18th-and-19th-century court musicians.

Learn a new song by ear each week! Give them the first note and any hints that would be appropriate and give them 5 minutes.
Begin in a key they are familiar with.
As an added challenge, have them then learn the same song in an unfamiliar key.

That's a good thing.
