Good for spreading violin!! It may survive yet.... Interesting college trend: examples U. Penn (Ivy League) and Temple U. (big state school) in Philly each have been giving credit for five-ten+ years to advanced music theory in distribution requirements the same as for rigorous math and science. I mean, you can co second-year music theory instead of calculus or P-Chem, and graduate! And there is such a thing as Music Theory AP. Theory rocks! Enjoy!!

Interesting post, Laurie, thanks! (Though I still maintain that everyone should know a certain level of math, regardless of his/her profession; it's basic education as much as history or literature.) That's fascinating about advanced music theory substituting for math requirements, Gabriel. I think I support that decision, depending on how advanced it really is; at the level of the AP exam---which is about the extent of my own knowledge---it doesn't seem THAT mathematical, but definitely becomes more so the more you get into it.
