    307 In Tune with Capital B Beauty

    AMDG. Today, Bonnie and Steven are joined by Kolbe teachers Olivia Knuffke and Carl Hasler to discuss music and music theory. They begin with a discussion of the importance of music and its place in a classical education and follow with an account of music from the perspective of Plato. We also discuss the role of the Church in understanding music and the role of music in the life of a Christian. We discuss how the understanding of music theory helps to open our minds to the beauty that we hear in music, and the classes and resources that Kolbe offers to help students come to this understanding. Be prepared for a litany of musical puns as you join us in this conversation.
