I really resonate with what you're saying because in college right now, when I sit around in my lecture classes and I see how other people are taking notes. 80% of students have a Google drive page open and are typing their notes exactly verbatim of what the professor is saying. And it sounds like we shouldn't see the stem, the humanities and art as all completely separate because they are integrally related. So I think like if more students had the notion that you could combine math with art by like creating metaphors out of math concepts and imagining them as these vivid vulgar images - adding music into it would be such a more fun, more engaging and also more effective way to learn
