No, they don't teach that sort of dr*ck in music schools today.  

I am a student at St. Olaf College pursuing a horn performance major with
a Bachelor of Music degree (a math major also, but that's beside the
point).  

We are not only required to listen to hours and hours of recordings for
music history classes, but it's also even required for theory courses.
Also, my horn and piano teachers both encourage lots of listening.   
Furthermore, music majors are required to meet a recital attendance quota;
in fact, anyone taking music lessons has a recital quota.  

Of course, I cannot speak for other music schools, but I daresay the music
department of St. Olaf College (long-reknowned for the St. Olaf Choir, and
more recently for the band and orchestra as well) is probably pretty
typical.
