Heh, a comment about this survey. I realize this is probably just an excercise in statistics. At least, I hope that's all it is, because this data seems kinda useless.

If you do statistics, it's important to plan ahead - you know, figure out what kind of data you want. How is it gonna be comparable? Do you have a control?


It seems you want to somehow correlate understanding of maths with understanding or skill at music. Smells like hidden variables if you ask me. ;)
 
i think you're pretty accurate with your assumptions about this survey. i'd be curious to see the results as well, but in the 5-6 years i've spent on various music forums i've never seen anyone share their results.

there's also no definition on what constitutes being a 'musician' which leaves a whole other aspect of interpretation to affect the collected data. is it just a matter of owning an instrument? being able to play at an arbitrary level of technical proficiency? an arbitrary amount of live performances within a specified time frame? or something else?

is there a connection between math class abilities and learning an instrument? for sure. especially if you're a guitar player using tablature as your main learning resource. although i think anti-social / reclusive behavior is just as likely to influence someone to pick up an instrument than their ability in math class.
