Are music schools a type of amenity=college or should they be their own tags?

The tag amenity=college is used for any "institution of further
education" which isn't a university; this includes junior colleges and
adult education facilities in the USA, though the term "further
education" is British English and doesn't always translate directly.

It's not clear if this includes music schools. There are separate tags
for amenity=driving_school and amenity=language_school, which are
included in the Map Features list.

Should  amenity=music_school be in map features?
