"The artistic and aesthetic aspects of learning to play a musical instrument are different from any other activity studied, including other arts."

HAH. Eff you, painters!!!


Music is mathematics. There is the obvious rhythm and time aspects, halves, quarters, eighths etc.

Then you find out that an octave is a doubling in frequency, and a fifth interval is 1.5x frequency, and your mind is blown. Notes are our subconscious appreciation of math.
