Having nothing to do I decided to check out their bulletin board. As I read along I came across an article that was posted there to help the children understand why they should study music and the importance of it in our world. After reading it I realized that much of it applied to all the fine arts. I would have liked to given the author due credit here. I was welcome to do so.
Music is a science.
A conductor s 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 subdivisions of time into fractions which must be done instantaneously, not worked out on paper. Music is a foreign language. The semantics of music is the most complete and universal language.
