Subject talk:Music

Music is buried way down the categories list doesn't seem right given its importance.&#91;&#91;User:Geof Bard गीता&#93;&#93; (discuss • contribs) 20:19, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I categorize by topic, not importance. If people search for music they'll see this subject in the results.  Subject:Humanities was already modified to give front page billing to featured books.  And there are sections even below music as well, such as Subject:Music theory.  I don't see how to address this short of going back to a flat single page display of all 3,000 books which is what the subjects were created to move away from.  The most that could be done would be to make Subject:Fine arts a root subject, but then we'd get complaints that Subject:History wasn't made a root subject because it's so very important as well. – Adrignola discuss 14:23, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I have a degree in history and have no problem seeing it under humanities, but music seems broader and more popular. Just MHO, though. But look here is one collab proj that puts the arts up there in the top tier http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Workgroups


 * In any case, Vocals is on the same rank as Music but it should be subordinated along with Instrumental subject cats. How about perhaps placing Performing Arts up alongside Humanities. Many universities have separate colleges which have say MFA programs apart from Arts & Sciences, which house Humanities.

 * I've placed singing and vocals under music. I've placed performing arts alongside fine arts under humanities as fine art does state that some universities limit that term to just visual art. – Adrignola discuss 15:09, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
 * That's probably better. Funny how sensitive we can be about art; touchy subjects like Israel-Palestine, nuclear power, politics, athiesm vs. religion, no problem. But when musicians and artists talk, look out it's like a soccer rumble...&#91;&#91;User:Geof Bard गीता&#93;&#93; (discuss • contribs)

Merging music subjects
Hi. Music production and Music equipment should probably be merged. It's likely in my view that producers will own equipment. Similarly, theory and composition should probably be merged, as composing requires some knowledge of theory, and it's likely that those interested in theory also compose to some degree. Also, as I just noticed, some of the topics start with "Music" and some with "Musical". This could become confusing. Let's pick one and be consistent with it.

I'd like to help write some material here. I'm a musician and sound engineer, so pretty knowledgeable about this whole music thing. Is there anyone out there with a clear vision for one of the pages but who could use some help? All the discussion pages in Music seem pretty empty. If so, get in touch via my talk page.

 * I'd say that they're definitely related, but that's why they're both under music. There's not much discussion on Subject talk: pages because they aren't normally watched by most people. I'm probably the only one watching them all.  If you'd like wider participation, you want to post in Reading room/Proposals. – Adrignola discuss 14:14, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
