Classical Music. Had to practice and play that shit on piano in the 80s when I was a mulleted metal kid drummer. Loathed it. A few years later, I was (re)introduced to the The Art of Fugue by The Grand Master of The Musical Universe, Johann Sebastian Bach, while deep in the depths of a psilocybin journey and I met God. Have been an unrepentant acolyte of The High Baroque ever since.
I wish piano were required for at least one semester in every high school. It not only opens the door to learning other instruments, it broadens one's background knowledge on music in general. Imagine if every 'rapper' had a year of piano in his thick head..
Amen.
