No amount of 'corporate capital' will allow Best Buy to find the teachers that make in-store lessons worthwhile to either their students or themselves as a business venture. The same question that 'intelligent consumers' might ask can be asked by teachers 'why would I want to teach music in a Best Buy?'. <BR/><BR/>What Bets Buy could (and should) do is use their resources (both financial and technological) to promote new ideas in music education. The more they promote music education, the more instruments they will sell.DiscoverLearnPlayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05779078192468631610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152868183496013173.post-56886133904137690962008-09-13T13:29:00.000-05:002008-09-13T13:29:00.000-05:00Interesting.

It could be financially successful but could be the musical and educational equivalent of Cocoa Puffs. Intelligent consumers may think, "Why the heck would I want to send my kid to Best Buy for music lessons?" and the whole thing could fall apart. On the other hand, they may use their corporate capital to recruit excellent music teachers and create something more powerful than most musicians could create on their own. I highly doubt it'll go in that latter direction, however.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
