Music in Our Schools

For the vast majority of Americans who can’t read music, the left- and right-most signs in the meme here are what are called “repeats,”  I.e., read it once, then repeat it, so forth, in perpetuity.

There are many excellent reasons to teach music in elementary school. One of which is that music theory is firmly based in mathematics and basic physics.  What better way to teach fractions than by explaining the time-value of whole-notes, half-notes, etc.?
