The author considers music as areflection of worldview and religion. For this purpose the author uses a method of comparison of a mythological picture of the world and properties of musical language. An important element linking the two areas is vertical. In mythology, this is turning the world on several floors in which the world of people occupies the middle one. At the level of music--it is the vertical of overtone sound row. The initial timbre ideal of this tradition are th esounds of throat singing which are associated with the vertical of the universe and consciousness used as an important formative structure of the World Model. In the article the author considers a materialization of musical consciousness in musical instruments. For this purpose, eight instruments under different names are selected andpresented in musical cultures of people. This allows the author to create the card of geographical distribution of tengri consciousness.展开更多

This paper tries to find the answers to two questions. Firstly, what are the main similarities between music and language？ Secondly, in what aspects can music facilitate language similarities （sound, rhythm, and acquisiti structure on？ By literature reviewing, comparison and contrast, three main ） between music and language are discussed, and then three facilitative effects of MAD on language acquisition are illustrated. They are： （1） MAD lays a foundation for language pronunciation acquisition; （2） MAD accelerates the mastery of language rhythm; and （3） MAD promotes language syntax acquisition. This paper will help teachers who like to use music-assistant language teaching method understand more about the positive effects of music on language teaching and acquisition.展开更多
