In setting the stage for understanding how music works, the current draft of the learning materials uses the idea that there's a continuum from speech through music to dance. The Horndog Blogger mentioned immediately below has various quotes that show up on his posts. The one that's currently on the compression post is:"Music rots when it gets too far from the dance.
Poetry atrophies when it gets too far from music."
-- Ezra Pound
