Essential Tones Of Music Rooted In Human Speech
A former choir-master of mine used to say that he could teach anyone to sing because to speak used tonality, pitch and rhythm. Well he may have scientific investigation on his side too. ScienceDaily: Essential Tones Of Music Rooted In Human Speech: "'In about 70 percent of the speech sounds, these ratios were bang-on musical intervals,' Purves said. 'This predominance of musical intervals hidden in speech suggests that the chromatic scale notes in music sound right to our ears because they match the formant ratios we are exposed to all the time in speech, even though we are quite unaware of this exposure.'"
