How insightful of Finland to devise a topic-based curriculum in their schools! This means that dicreet "subjects" that are taught may cross-fertilise each other, and the possibilities in this are amazing!

About This Quote

This is a reference to the teaching of music in Finland. The Finnish system of education is very different from that of other countries. The Finnish school system has adopted a topic-based curriculum, meaning that certain subjects are taught across the curriculum. For example, music is taught throughout the entire school, not just in one subject or another.

This allows music to cross-fertilise with other subjects. For example, music classes may have an opportunity to discuss literature or math.
