This was part of altruism of information in my class room. I am really forcing my students to axed their fears in coding. To become a computer programmer you will accept different types of ideas, negative or bad ideas. This is to prepare your self in facing the real scenario in the real workplace.
Does it make sense that Music has relation to Programming? some of you will say "that's a silly question:". Our knowledge is part of the gift, we can't elucidate this kind of "gift" but only the king of the universe could answer that. Okey, it sounds weird, lets drop to the smallest unit thinking of this topic, knowledge is part of our experience a Platonian Philosophy. (It is smallest unit because ideas leverage it to become big)
This knowledge was acquired while we are still developing our senses inside the womb of our mother. We have different perceptions and of course optics. In the Universal approach, we learn to become human because of the place we lived in. This is planet earth therefore it is motored by earthlings!
Music has a rhythm, melody and sounds. Wherever you are and when you hear the sweet and mellow music your senses are repleted to a degree to comfort zone, it diminished your woes and other problems.
What about Programming? does it connotes Music as intervention mechanism to become more progressive in the field of computing? I created a random sampling to 10 students in Computer Science in a Social Network. A Drop questions would be my instruments to count the frequency of facts. The question was" Does music has relationship to programming as far as composing of codes are concerns?" out 10 there were 7 who agree with these questions and 3 were bit dubious.
There were people at the age of 6 they learn piano at the age 17 they learn the C languages and most of them are great programmers. We can't say that music does enhance your neurons to hack and to create a pleasant programs, but in general you can avert tensions of doing coding by means of listening to Music.
I would agree that learning to read the SHeeT of Music is like programming, it is not 100 percent akin to music codes but the meta language that you construct could be a pattern to have moveable codes in your program. In music you are starting with the Key Notes, there is high notes and computations of timing to ReSt. In program you create the main program, the elements to declare the variables, AND THERE ARE 3 STEPS TO DECLARE A VARIABLE, that's the protocol in programming languages.
Check this out to quench your dubious thoughts.
