What qualifies as "Humanities"?

<p>I want to ask my Jazz Band teacher (I do have him for a class, if that makes a difference) for a recommendation, but I've noticed a few places noting "music teachers" almost as if they're separate from "Humanities". I've always considered music a part of Humanities (don't know anyone that doesn't), but I just want to make sure that this recommendation would be okay.</p>

<p>I think music qualifies as humanities, since it is a humanities major at MIT.</p>
