I took a music appreciation class in undergrad that had us learn the names of many famous pieces and composers, but Looney Tunes really hooked it up with educating an entire generation on classical symphonic music. Had they included the titles and composers of the pieces in a corner of the screen when playing the music, we’d all be fancy-pants music connoisseurs without taking any college courses for it. There’s a lesson in there somewhere. Imagine what else children could learn if what they find interesting is properly infused with educational material.
