Taking the general lesson to the specific application can take training. Not everyone will understand taxes just by reading. Look at how many adults now a days don't understand tax brackets as a good example. Tax brackets are something that is fairly simple to explain and yet we have a good portion of adults who don't understand them and will insist they get less money while getting a raise.

My first sentence isn't bogus, you just happened to understand the general lessons and apply them to the specific application. Other people find that challenging.

    Kids should learn about taxes and other important life lessons. However musical studies help kids a lot. It improves memory, hand eye coordination, increases grey matter in their brains, improves fine motor skills…all sorts of benefits come from learning a musical instrument. Plus once they can actually play you’ll have a live in classical jukebox.
