Why Teach Music?


Music is a science
It is exact, specific; it demands exact acoustics. A conductors full score is a chart, a graph, which indicates frequencies, intensities, volume changes, melody and harmony all at once and with the most exact control of time.

Music is mathematical
It is rhythmically based on the subdivision of time into fractions, which must be done instantaneously, not worked out on paper.

Music is a foreign language


Most of the terms are in Italian, German, or French; and the notation is certainly not Englishbut a highly developed kind of shorthand that uses symbols to represent ideas. The semantics of music is the most complete and universal language. Also, many songs we study are from other cultures.

Music is physical education


It requires fantastic coordination of fingers, hands, arms, lip, cheek, and facial muscles, in addition to extraordinary control of the diaphragmatic, back, stomach, and chest muscles, which respond instantly to the sound the ear hears and the mind interprets.

Most of all, music is art.


It allows a human being to take all these dry, technically boring (but difficult) techniques and use them to create emotion. That is one thing science cannot duplicate: humanism, feeling, and emotion.
