The fact that you limited your proposal to just those decades shows that you know nothing about music. I'm fucking old, and I've spent a lifetime learning about different types and styles of music over the last seven hundred years just in the west. I'm not even counting the weird sounds cultures that don't use our method of harmony and rhythms. In the last century, so many kinds of music developed that it would surprise most people to know about them.

There is an enormous amount of good, pleasant, well crafted music from about 1900 to 1959, and your arbitrary limitation would exclude that. There was an great stylistic change in music in the 60s, and it definitely was not for the good. Music got simpler, harsher, and stupider, and that trend never stopped. As a result, music today is unrecognizable as music. That period of time you mention had a paucity of good music, and most of it was crap.

Not without explaining to them that blues/bluegrass, rock and country came from whites in Appalachia

no

No it’s all garbage. Everything in the past 100 years can be erased and nothing of value would be lost.

I think you’re actually infatuated with the sound design aspect of it all and how everything is mixed and made to sound “just right.”

Classical music appreciation should be taught, as well as basic theory. Understanding the ABCs of classical music expands a child's mind.

I like a lot of 'modern' music, but most of it is jew hippy trash.

1760s?

No

No. That is a boomer idea. No one cares about the 60s, 70s, 80s, or even the 90s. Stop forcing your shitty ideas on to everyone else.

Most music, especially what they call classic rock is pure propaganda. Now if you want to teach math and science,lyrics and music works. That's why they use it for propaganda.

Yeah, but only the bluegrass from that era.

One needs to filter out any music involving niggers, communists or jews. That would squelch nigger mumble rap, jew pop and dogshit such as the Beatles and Pink Floyd (not to bash Gilmour though, he's too good with a guitar to be wasted on performing trash written by Waters).

If that filter doesn't leave much, good - hopefully it makes room for picking more musical pieces typical of more times than just the 1960s onwards. Include Bing Crosby performing with the Andrews Sisters, some wartime stuff, Horst-Wessel-Lied, ragtime from the 1910s, and go back until you reach those Beethoven moments which inspire modern symphonic metal.

The trouble is that the advent of searching good music on the internet now means that one can get good music only by searching on the internet. TV, movies and radio will never play anything with based subtext such as modern Accept. I'm also impressed by Powerwolf at times, try the opening to Venom of Venus to hear how awesome power metal can be when it's sung in Latin.

not just 60s to 90s

music of all times and cultures and niche music of contemporary times.

Idiot me as a kid asked "what if everyone didn't vote" and I was forced to listen to Freewill and got a whole lecture. Then having to listen to the whole Rush 2112 album because "it's a story you should know".

Getting into an argument with a friend was what prompted the "animals" by pink floyd lesson.

Just dont.

Music is a written language in itself, started in high-school with brass and woodwind, I gave my tenor sax to a family member a few years ago and never got it back, piss me off, but our music teacher/conductor always said that music expands the mind and improves comprehension levels, a good musician can easily adapt to a foreign language in quick time...just a point of interest, myself and 2 other brass members did a rendition of "Smoke on the Water" and a former band member who was visiting and assessing us and who toured with Loverboy, Streetheart and Survivor, (first name Jeff) was very impressed, fuck, I remember a concert we were in and at the end the 3 of us went rogue and did the tune and the audience was dazed and impressed but the main attraction of the concert was Robert Sheldon's Edifice.
But I think music should be a part of the educational curriculum...it's also discipline, something that is sorely lacking today
