The "first person to establish music education with rhythm and melody" in the west is an ancient Greek philosopher and educator named Spartacus, later known as Pythagoras. He is regarded as one of the founders of western music education. Pythagoras' research on music mainly focuses on intervals and musical proportions. The mathematical relationship between simple harmonic proportion, frequency doubling and other intervals was discovered and applied to music creation and education. People think that music can achieve harmony through reasonable mathematical proportion and regard it as a means of spiritual and moral education.
