Why Montessori school homework is minimal. Montessori Schools do not typically assign daily homework. Dr. Montessori believed that if we do not dictate the work of the child in class, then it does not make sense to dictate the work they choose at home. Therefore, traditional homework is kept to a minimum.

Composers such as Terry Riley, Steve Reich, La Monte Young, and Philip Glass turned their backs on their classical training to make music characterized by simple harmonies, patterned rhythms, and repetition. The melodic patterns of their works were frequently inspired by the music of Bali, Africa, and India.

With roots in the early 20th-century paintings of Kasimir Malevich and Marcel Duchamp, minimal art developed as a reaction against the spontaneous emotiveness of abstract expressionism. Adherents believed that a piece should be self-referential and sought to eliminate all expressive content, including any evidence of the artist’s hand at work.
