I’m going to disagree with you here, as I think studying music and literature are worthy pursuits in and of themselves, regardless of whether or not it’s what the upper-class does. But I was asked to provide a justification for these pursuits other than their intrinsic good, so I provided one. </p>
<p>I could have also said being a stud on the piano or having a great singing voice or being able to write poetry like an angel can be quite attractive. In fact, a turn on of mine is a girl that can flat-out sing. So there’s another outward justification.</p>
