So....WHY SHOULD STRING MUSICIANS ONLY LEARN CLASSICAL MUSIC?

I truly believe it's the reason why so many kids end up quitting playing their instruments. 

Classical music is just a genre like any other (rock, pop, rap, etc.) 
String musicians should learn their music "ABCs" (the fundamentals/foundation) but have the freedom to play whatever they want to enhance their creativity, and to keep them engaged.
