I loved music class because recorder blowing and do-re-mi-ing was rather easy.
It was the only class besides art that I could score well.

Plus, our music classes were held in air-conditioned rooms.

For those who said primary and sec sch music lessons sucked.... I agree. Even if I had developed interest in playing an instrument by then, my answer will remain same. =|

I was taught Bob Dylan's Blowin' In the Wind in primary school's music class.
I always remebered the song for the unforgettable chorus.
Only discovered that its a Dylan song after more than 10 years later. :lol:
