Why is music important?

Children who can keep the beat have improved language fluency
Children learn to discriminate between pitches, types of voices, inflections, and loud/quiet volumes
Decoding symbols, letters, words, sentences, and patterns are a part of music and literacy. Reading music also encourages visual focus and memory.
Fingerplays, action songs, and playing instruments help students develop their fine motor skills.
Songs can be used to teach many concepts, such as the alphabet, counting, cultures, basic skills, and more.
Incorporating music into children's lives creates well rounded thinkers and problem solvers.
