Agreed! As someone who took AP Music Theory (because I perform 18th century music in an orchestra) I really enjoyed learning about the structure of the music I was playing.
One of the biggest hurdles to learning the basics of other music systems and styles is the amount of material available, however. Putting together and promoting good resources is a great way to enrich the knowledge and appreciation of other musical frameworks.
Learning about Renaissance lute music (performance and theory) is more difficult than learning about Baroque lute music, for example. Only because Diana Poulton wrote the fantastic A Tutor for the Renaissance Lute am I able to delve into it properly.
More generally, it’s also difficult sometimes to convince people to even listen to anything out of their comfort zone (18th century German compositions absolutely can fall under category) such as Japanese koto music. There are some great pieces performed by Kimio Eto on Youtube, for any interested people.
I will note that it has never been easier to explore music than now, thanks to the ease of travel (until 2020 that is) and the internet. A lot of other composers are being uncovered, performed, and promoted now. For an example of this from 19th century England, check out Ethel Smyth. A great piece of hers to listen to is Serenade in D.
