Question

nathanials school is considering cutting music from their curriculum. he wants to make the argument that music has been considered important to the education of young people for centuries. how would he best make this argument?

Answer 1

He should quote the Hurrian Song.

Step-by-step explanation:

A cuneiform tablet discovered in Nippur dating to about 2000 BCE seems to give instructions for performing particular pieces of music. Although the notation on these tablets is fragmentary and the interpretation of it is still controversial, it appears to be one of the first examples of musical notation. The Hurrian song is a set of fragmentary relics and a nearly complete example of notated music from around 1400 BCE that was found in the 1950s at Ugarit (in present-day Syria). The almost complete song is written in cuneiform writing on clay tablets. At least one of the tablets is noted as a song, and the musical notation appears to have been written for the nine-stringed lyre.
