You may be asking yourself what do science topics have to do with learning music. 
 
The answer is quite a lot!  As you progress, it will become apparent. In addition, when learning rhythm, basic mathematical skills come into play. 
 
You will also be pleased to know, that words in many languages are used in music notation. And, then there is tons of history too!  My teaching assistants promise to join us and pitch in later on.
