This is a really important point. There is a huge cultural chauvinism at play when we assume that poor kids are only capable of interacting with the mundane and the commonplace.

Yet how on Earth would a poor child access classical music via a pathway of relevance? TV ads perhaps? How silly and thin these ideologies are.
