Florida Institute of Technology
High Tech with a Human Touch
From the President
“Music hath charms to soothe a savage beast,” so wrote 17th Century Playwright William Congreve. In the 21st
Century, we know that music also can help you learn mathematics, science, and engineering. The nexus between the left and right
sides of the brain is much more complex and interrelated than we believed previously.
At Florida Tech, we believe that music is intrinsic to higher education. The study of music and playing musical instruments makes for the education of the whole brain as well as the total person."
Anthony J. Catanese, Ph. D., FAICP President Florida Institute of Technology
