So I insist on this well-rounded education to my students, and I provide them myself. You know, I take them to museums, I take them to the opera, I tell them what to listen for. Yeah, I think this is very, very necessary, and it's lacking in their education, or it's been given but very, very lightly. Very superficially and not enough, you know. It's not integrated into their lives, right? Yes. And it's not realistic. But as I say, because they only think in terms of competition. But if that, how many people can compete and win? 1, 2, 3 at the most, you know. That doesn't even guarantee a career. It just tells you, you know, a few years of concerts and then what? See? So you have to be prepared for the then what, you know, 'cause that's gonna be most of the time of your life. Yeah, and you have to be an entrepreneur. You have to know how to become creative, you know. The classical music is challenged now by pop music, which is a great competition. So I think that, In a way, it's been our fault because we've been in such a bubble, you know, all the time that we don't realize there is a world around us and we have to connect with that world and the needs of that world.
