Aristotle on Music Education

 

 

“Music has a power of forming the character, and should therefore be introduced into the education of the young.”

If ever there were a discipline that integrated the unconscious and emotional aspects of the mind with the intellectual and physical movement it would be music (and likely dance, too, though I cannot say from personal experience). It is too often neglected as part of the educational curriculum.
