-Chants have rhythm (ba, ba, ba) and songs have rhythm, but also tone. Rhythm is the base of a song.
The differences in songs come from several factors.

-Octives: how high you start
-style differences
-mood association
-major/minor
Why is music education important?
-its a part of our society
-for some students, it is the best way they learn (multiple intelligences)
-provides way for parents and kids to interact
-for some students, it is their only hook into school
Music Aptitude: the potential to learn music
-stabilizes at age 9
-but can always still practice and improve
-early exposure affects aptitude (parents, recordings, games instruments, timbre)
-movement highly connected to music, elevates aptitude
Musical ability develops similarly to language
-hear words over and over, develop image with words
-songs don't have clear meaning but will develop one
-exposure! exposure! exposure!
-listen to music then read, listen to words, then read
-brain synapses, more exposure=more connections
