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?

It was group instruction for certain instruments only at high school.
For instance, my niece was learning to play the trumpet. But she took private piano lessons via home.

Her brother took basic violin lessons at high school but like his sister took private piano. He actually is probably more musically inclined than his sis.
