Poster Title
P-59 The Seven Liberal Arts and their Relevancy in Music Education Today
Abstract
Since Greek and Roman ideas and thought laid the foundation for many disciplines in Western civilization, I decided to explore their philosophies on education and music. The seven liberal arts, founded by the Greeks and Romans, set the standard of education for many centuries. Much of Western music theory, language, vocabulary, and techniques are indebted to discoveries made by the Ancients and the monasteries in the Middle Ages. Using primary and secondary sources, I propose to explore possible modern implications of these learning systems. As a music education major, I hope to use this information in innovative and creative ways in a classroom setting.
