"It should not be unreasonable to expect all adults to be able to clap their hands in time at a sporting event.
Adults should be able to sing "Happy Birthday" without being told "please don't sing!"
A couple should be able to dance in time to the music at their wedding.
A person should be able to sing at a worship service without persons in the row in front turning around.
An audience member should possess sufficient sensitivities to be moved by a nuance in a musical performance.
A parent/guardian should be able to soothe their infant with a lullaby and rock to the beat of that lullaby." (https://www.giamusic.com/music_education)
