Since I was copied, my sincere 2 cents:

While a course in communication may very well be needed (including me), it 
makes 
sense for Music Institutes/Organizations to stick to their main mission - 
propagate music.   Otherwise the image may be diluted.

Dear Patrons 

No matter how brilliant and invaluable your idea, it is worthless unless you 
can 
share it with others. For this reason, effective communication is crucial to 
anyone and everyone. However, the ability to communicate effectively does not 
come easily to many people, and it is a skill that requires practice.
We begin practicing our communication skills even before we learn to walk. A 
newborn child communicates by crying, but it slowly learns to mimic its 
parents' 
speech. Eventually, the child discovers that certain speech patterns elicit 
different responses; one of the joys of parenting is trying to decipher the 
meaning behind certain "words." Does "baaaaaw" mean that the baby wants his 
ball, his bottle, or his blanket? Slowly, through trial and error, the child 
learns to manipulate sounds to get what it wants, and as the child develops, 
this active oral practice leads to more nuanced and fluid conversations. In 
short, the child learns effective communication.
To effectively communicate a complex idea, however, requires skills beyond 
elementary conversation.
Many in our AIM community have expressed an interest in wanting us to start a 
Communication Course for Adults. Your answers to the following Survey will help 
us decide, whether this is something we should pursue
