Exhibit looks at music education

Erin Averill (left) and Allison Kusilek of River Falls, Wis., view the entrance to the part of the Sounds Good to Me: Music in Minnesota exhibit that deals with music education, trends in its history and its role in our lives. They're looking at a photo captioned, "Hey, Mr. Knutson, I've got gum in my spit valve!" A century ago, strict teachers taught music as a social grace, but after the 1960s, educators began emphasizing the idea that everyone has musical talent.
