Would you be happy to pay more income tax to cover the “free” tuition?

I doubt if it would ammount to more than a few pennies extra per month for each taxpayer (I am a taxpayer), so I would be prepared to do that.

The biggest problem for this is lack of music teachers and a severe lack of instruments. It has always been this way, even when i was at school many years ago
