5. 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!
6. Music is Art\
It allows a human being to take all accumulated knowledge and skill and use it to
create emotion. That is one thing science cannot duplicate: Humanism, feeling,
emotion, call it what you will.
THAT IS WHY WE TEACH MUSIC!!!
not because we expect you to major in music-Nor to play or sing all your life
Not so you can relax--NOT so you can have FUN!
but...
SO YOU WILL BE MORE HUMAN-SO YOU WILL RECOGNIZE BEAUTY
SO YOU WILL BE MORE SENSITIVE-SO YOU WILL HAVE SOMETHING TO CLING TO
SO YOU WILL BE CLOSER TO AN INFINITE BEYOND THIS WORLD
SO YOU WILL HAVE MORE LOVE, MORE COMPASSION, MORE GENTLENESS, MORE GOOD
IN SHORT....MUSIC WILL BRING YOU MORE LIFE!!
