In the middle ages, music was one of the four parts of the quadrivium, and it was studied in order to learn mathematics. No surprise here.

Try throwing away the CALCULATOR.

Yeah, like this is some “breakthrough” study. Musicians who can read music, know fractions down to 1/32. This used to be grade level 2 stuff, along with being exposed to the classic and romantic era composers. No more. Now they focus on creative pronouns and other crap that will, eventually, beg “loan forgiveness” by the time they are grads via the grace of future equity laws.

As a kid I got good at math by using my baseball card collection, and a monthly price guide, and adding up my collection on a sheet of paper.

ABSOLUTELY!

Want to make a direct connection with God?

Learn to play an instrument and improvise.

Improvisation comes from another dimension and energy source.

Not just arithmetic, but the door to a direct spiritual connection the the energy of the universe.

My wife is a Harpist and Potter but disliked mathematics in high school and college. She utilizes math for both vocations.

I learned fractions before I was five. Instead of the “whole” being a pie, it was a measure. The total count of the different notes had to add up to one whole measure.
