The Importance of Music
The Importance of Music
Music is imperative in the education of children. It is not just an auditory luxury; it’s a way to enhance the human connection. Music education provides a branch of learning in which students will acquire a wide range of life skills. Every culture since the beginning of human history uses music to celebrate, inspire, worship, stimulate, and instill values and traditions.
As people create music they uncover their dreams, fears, and passions that cannot be articulated through verbal means. Music is an integral part of a well-rounded educational curriculum, building self-confidence, discipline, and integrity, while providing outstanding opportunities for self expression and creativeness.
Thank you for supporting your child in their new and exciting exploration and development of their musical talents and abilities.
