Music: A secondary language?
A couple weeks ago, my band teacher brought up an interesting thought. He said to us, "What makes you guys different from the rest of the students here at this school is you speak a universal language used by the whole world." Some exchanged confused glances while others waited for him to continue. He said, "Music is the language spoken by all. You can go anywhere and communicate with anyone through music." So why isn't music counting as a foreign language I ask myself? It's more used than English and Spanish. What do guys think about this whole issue? I mean, realistically, shouldn't music be offered as a foreign language or not?
