Summary: "Music and Life: A Study of the Relations Between Ourselves and Music" by Thomas Whitney Surette is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the intricate relationships between human beings and music, examining music's characteristics, its significance in education, particularly for children, and the impact of various teaching methods. Surette aims to highlight the vital role that music plays in human life beyond mere entertainment. The opening of the book sets a critical tone towards the state of music education and appreciation in contemporary society. Surette discusses the growth of institutional music in the United States, noting that while many enjoy music passively, few engage with it actively through personal participation. He emphasizes the necessity of understanding music's deeper qualities, such as rhythm, melody, and harmony, and argues for the need to nurture genuine musical appreciation from childhood. Surette raises important questions about current musical practices, aiming to explore not just what music is, but how society can better engage with and educate future generations in this essential art form.
