Well, I understand what you mean about music being different to all cultures,
but if you try to understand another culture, for me at least, music has
proved to help me more than many other things, especially at the early level
of learning.
As to math, I'd never looked at it like that, but I think you have a point- I
won't attempt to argue about math, I'd do horribly hehe
