By God's Grace, I am a Musicologist (in the making) and in my 4 years of study, I have learnt some things and I will like to share with you. Just read on. I may get some lashings but it's okay. You see, we music ministers love to "Spiritualize" almost all our terms. I just want to point out some things so that we can create a balance and so that we don't teach people the wrong things.
