Interesting.
Ahhhhh, Bach!
And, interestingly enough, it is WESTERN Classical Music that is studied.
China has its own Classical Music, but it has a different cadence, a different pattern of rhythm, and different scales than Western Music. The same can be said of Indian Classical Music.
I actually enjoy Eastern music, but in very small doses.
Then it’s Back to Bach for me!
Very interesting. I wonder if there’s such thing as a type of music that makes you dumber.
It’s all about focusing.

It allows you get a better Handel on your studies.
>>A touch-sensitive electric piano with sounds sampled from good acoustic instruments, suitable for a beginning pupil, costs about as much as a video game station. <<
I just saw one in Frys for $35 — I almost bought it.
I played trumpet and still play flute. Playing a musical instrument can be a very relaxing and fun thing to do. If you do play you know what I mean. If not it is almost impossible to explain how good making music makes you feel.
I believe this is factually incorrect. Pythagoras had all sorts of ideas about the relationship between music, the universe and higher thought.
He died around 500 BC, about 1000 years before Augustine.
DuFay, Ockeghem, and Dunstable seem to have spent most of their spare time squeezing mathematical puzzles into their music.
Nice keys.
Learn the circle of fifths and modulation, the moveable do system for scales and memorize key signatures and you’ve already learned enough to build chords, figure out any scale in any key and if you combine it with the time signatures, learn to read music and you’re almost 90% there.
That doesn’t mean you’ll be Beethoven but it does give you enough to understand why some sounds sound great and some really sound horrible and if you’re really really lucky, you’ll have been born with perfect pitch, if not, you can learn relative pitch so you can tell the difference between the sound of E and F#.
There’s a guy who supposedly has a system to teach anyone perfect pitch, reviews were pretty bad for his system. I had the first tape and it boiled down to listening to different note’s timbres but just listening to different chords and notes will give you plenty of information.

Ev’ry time I try to prove I love you,
1,2,3, Red Light, You stop me,.
Baby you ain’t right to stop me.
Too much sax and violins for me.
P.J. O'Rourke's response to the old Yale perfessor Amy Chua who wrote "The battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother". Very funny.
OTOH, I find that classical music is a favorite of mine, back to childhood. It does have the power to reach inside you and pull out emotions and a higher thought process.
The horses appear to appreciate it . . . and I’m constantly battling with people who think horses should listen to country/western.
