Really? Your schools had the money and resources to provide private instruction to all students for any instrument? Wow.

Instruction in group activities is vastly different than individual instruction. Those that want to excel in music, sports, etc., must usually obtain private instruction or coaching. A band/orchestra leader is not equipped to provide this for all instruments. So Canada provides this?
