Now this article is an interesting read. I think it's very valuable for my research becuase it actually claims that there is not enough support of music and math being connected. I think it is important for me to listen to all sides of the subject and understand why this article claims the evidence on the subject is modest, at best.
After reading the article, it seems that the author of the article searched for evidence supporting the subject of math and music being directly associated. The author could not find enough supporting evidence and therefore, assumes that the evidence does not exist.
This article is worthy of a second read, but I didn't find the article to provide any evidence refuting the idea that math and music are correllated.

I agree. When researching one must look at ALL the literature...even if it disagrees with the point you are trying to prove. I am glad you found this piece.
