Identifier: Coll-1310/3/1/1/8
Scope and Contents
Includes a handwritten draft as well as the final lecture.
Thomson argues that music plays a part in every aspect of education, physical, aesthetic, and moral, and makes a case for music to be given a prominent place in the school curriculum. He opines that musical ability is correlated with mathematical and logical ability, and links early acquisition of complex rhythms to later mathematical ability.
