Yeah.

One hundred percent.

And actually, there are some if you were to look at some of the comments that were being made on YouTube and stuff, because there was a lot of YouTube video responses from piano teachers jumped up and they were saying like they make they make huge leaps in their pedagogy of going from that finger method numbering system to reading where they just skip over swaths and swaths of work you have to do to be able to relate the keyboard to the notational systems that are developed in Western music.

So, yeah.

So, again, it's great to encourage and you want kids to improvise and you want kids to just get start playing right away and play the stuff that they love.

But this is nothing new.

And it's going to lead to these, you know, this this the equivalent of a piano Starbucks.

And it's just not it's just not cool.

Very disappointing.

You know, that's also the most depressing because like I said, a couple of years ago, 60 minutes would have torn this apart because it's so obvious on the top of it.

Oh, of course.

I mean, I mean, you know that there's some whether it's a direct, you know, direct payment or some I mean, all these CEOs, you know, they all know each other.

They're all doing whatever favors they're doing.

You know that, you know, Paramount Plus has its interests and CBS has its interests.

And, you know, so it's yeah.

Coincidentally, the story the story rolls out on Sunday and this week is when they're rolling out the the big stores that they're going to try to get across the country for all these piano schools.

So it's like very distasteful.

Suzuki is great.

Suzuki is everything that this is kind of trying to be, but it has the incremental steps that can lead then to understanding musical notation.

And Suzuki is never saying, hey, we'll do this quick for you.
