My music teacher was pretty angry that I clearly only picked the subject because I didn't want to take art or PE.
I wasn't there due to any passion for it, did the absolute minimum, and the only way it's affected my life is that I keep thinking about how annoyed he was.
Eh, that's the system so I can't fault you. But specialty electives like that usually have limited seats - your seat may have displaced someone much more enthralled with the subject.
Also I guarantee they sucked at it and made everyone else sound worse by association. Childhood visual art classes are way easier than music anyway, it doesn't even have to look like anything. It's extremely obvious when someone doesn't know what they're doing in a music class.
I was Grade 4 piano at the time, I knew what I was doing. I just had no passion for it.
The difference between doesn't know and doesn't care is negligible, the end result is the same.
Well, music is kind of a team sport, I'd be pissed if one of the percussionists could never hit the damn triangle at the right time.
Our music lessons didn't involve playing together at all, from what I remember. It was theory more than anything.
