Learning about science in music is even easier. Examples include the development of plastics for CDs and cases, use of MIDI to link instruments with computers, and how a piece of plastic, ribbon, or vinyl can produce sound. Regardless of the student s interest, or love, this approach can be applied to teaching all subjects. A student interested in construction can be shown how math is necessary for measuring accurately to ensure the smallest amount of materials necessary are purchased for a job, thus ensuring more profit. Science can affect the stability of constructed items and be necessary to interpret what method of construction will enhance the quality and lifespan of what is being constructed.
History is important to learn styles and methods of building.
We still use Roman arches and theory, as well as those of countless other civilizations. To be an expert, you would need to know these. As you can see, it works for everyone s interests. It does take extra effort on the teacher s part to plan and organize, but is well worth the result. If you think it s not feasible, or the cost is too high considering time, then perhaps it s time to question whether you love what you re doing.
