I think this is a feel-good course which looks as though it's been put together by amateurs.
00:13
And I've taught music for a long time. I'm 91 years old, so I've been doing this for many years
00:23
and I've seen various often ridiculous attempts at what we're discussing now.
00:31
I've seen it all before.
00:35
And I'm frankly appalled that here we are back at it again just because there's someone new at the helm
00:47
and they feel they have to make changes.
00:51
And I understand, of course, like everyone else does, that the ANU is in financial trouble
00:58
and they have to find money.
01:01
All I'm saying is that when you apply the kind of thinking that's being applied
01:07
to a course purporting to produce musicians, you'll fail.
01:14
And you'll fail your own graduates who will not thank you when they start applying to go elsewhere
01:24
and to study further.
01:27
That's what the future will bring, unfortunately.
