Why Music?

How Playing Music Benefits Your Brain

Music is an important and integral part of a students complete education. Below are some facts and anecdotes about the many benefits of a quality music education. 

  1. Music contributes to the school and community environment (quality of life). 
  2. Students of the arts learn to think creatively and to solve problems by imagining various solutions, rejecting outdated rules and assumptions. Questions about the arts do not have only one right answer. 
  3. Recent studies show that students who study the arts are more successful on standardized tests such as the SAT. They also achieve higher grades in high school. 
  4. It provides a way to image and create, contribute to self-expression and creativity.
  5. Music enriches life, it is a way to understand our cultural heritage as well as other past and present cultures
  6. Music study enhances teamwork skills and discipline. In order for an music ensemble to sound good, all players must work together harmoniously towards a single goal, the performance, and must commit to learning music, attending rehearsals, and practicing. 
  7. Music provides children with a means of self-expression. Now that there is relative security in the basics of existence, the challenge is to make life meaningful and to reach for a higher stage of development. Everyone needs to be in touch at some time in his life with his core, with what he is and what he feels. Self-esteem is a by-product of this self-expression.
