Music education involves the development of musical knowledge and skills as well as critical discrimination. When students are studying music, they work in the artistic processes of creating, performing and responding. Music education integrates cognitive, affective and psychomotor development. Music is recognized as a basic and unique way of knowing and also as a way of enhancing the development of other, related intelligences.The challenge for music education is to help students function more effectively in the broad world of music through interaction with a variety of music from all times and cultures.
