Poking his wobbly way through the scrub, stubble and sand of Florida's Cape Canaveral comes a creature from the ages. The armadillo, his precision-made armor plate intermeshing fluidly, moseys along, oblivious of time. Skittering across his path is another anachronism, the beady-eyed, evil-looking horned lizard, uglier than the sum of the menacing spikes that jut from his body. On trundles the armadillo, scarcely noticing a wide hole in the ground. From the hole run two telephone lines; a few feet away, they connect to a pair of phones lying in a ditch.

This comparison betrays the inclination so prevalent at Harvard to approach music in a scientific manner. This may be the soundest method in the long view, but pedagogically, it is rather more doubtful. After a year of music study essentially divorced from music itself, the student may become disillusioned with music as a formal study. The technical approach...
