I'm sorry, but this is garbage. Merely asserting a thing does not make
it so, and you have offered no evidence at all to support your
position. I see no decline whatsoever in the ability to experience
music deeply throughout the course of my 60-yr. lifetime. Courses in
"how to listen" go back at least to the 1950s, and books on the subject
much further (example: Copland, _What to Listen For in Music_).
