Why learn about music?
Music connects us to others across cultures and time. The struggles experienced by people in the United States and all over the world are told and remembered through songs. Music helps shape our culture and our culture influences our music.
Middle School music class allows us to explore music's role in our lives, our society, and our history. It helps us listen and think critically, create, collaborate, develop team-building and leadership skills, communicate, and express ourselves.
According to NAfME, The National Association for Music Education, the benefits conveyed by music education can be grouped in four categories:
Success in society
Success in school
Success in developing intelligence
Success in life
