> Musical pedagogy follows classical music out of tradition i think at some levels, of pedagogy, there's also an element of "and because it is cheap to free". my piano teacher bemoans how we only teach music from "dead white men" (a common refrain in some parts of the internet), but is hesitant to suggest i spend money to purchase anything, instead, referring me to IMSLP for everything. if you want music from living folks, it is still under copyright, regardless of their color or gender. that costs more.
