Sure.
Having it in the curriculum (especially with only one class) doesn't
mean much. I'm currently teaching a group of students "Scheme in
LilyPond", and my worries about selling coals to Newcastle have proved
unfounded ;-)

However, that doesn't mean making code fragments available is completely
in vain.
There *are* people who know that Lisp can be used for making music,
there is OpenMusic, and it *can* be possible to raise interest by
increasing the amount of stuff that is around.
Some of my most interesting projects have been made possible because I
had some code online and someone chimed in by either using and
questioning it or actually developing it further.
