if music were taught like math..

read A Mathematician's Lament, by Paul Lockhart

available here -> http://www.maa.org/devlin/LockhartsLament.pdf

an interesting read.. correlating math with music, and lamenting over the absurdity of the current teaching systems and the viewpoint that the general public takes with regards to math..

I'll write about my thoughts over this some day, but for now, I concur..
