5 Reasons to join the band
Makes you smarter Scientific research shows that musical training builds intellectual skills, raises IQ, increases spatial-temporal
intelligence, improves memory, and develops creativity. (see the video link below)
Teaches discipline Learning to play a musical instrument teaches self-discipline, the value of persistence, and the rewards of hard work.
Increase Self-Esteem Performing music in public, and as a member of a group, builds confidence.
Relieves Stress Music helps calm our minds. Studies show that music students experience less test and/or performance anxiety than students who do not study music.
It is fun Many students keep in touch with their band friends long after graduating.
