"To me, the negative result of widespread recorded music is to discourage others from making music and turn them into the good little consumers that today's music industry wants." I do not agree that such effect is necessary or is most common. Hearing a perfect performance might in fact have a different effect - show that it is possible to achieve that. It all depends on the background and attitude.
I didn't say it was either necessary or most common. It does depend on the person doing the hearing. But I remember many people whose response to singing or playing an instrument is, "Oh, I can't play like that," so they won't even try.
Of course, this is compounded by the way at least the American education used to put a lot of effort into discouraging students from singing or playing music ...
