Why We Teach
Music is a Science: It is exact, specific, and it demands exact acoustics. A conductor's full score is a chart, a graph that 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 subdivisions of time into fractions that 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 English, but a highly developed kind of shorthand that uses symbols to represent ideas. The semantics of music is the most complete and universal language.
Music is History:Music usually reflects the environment and times of its creation, often even the country and/or racial feeling.
Music is Physical Education: It requires fantastic coordination of fingers, hands, arms, lip, cheek and facial muscles for singing and playing; it involves the entire body in movement and dance. In addition, there must be extraordinary control of the diaphragmatic, back, stomach, and chest muscles that respond instantly to the sound the ear hears and the mind interprets.
