On an instinctual level, mothers know to sing softly to their newborns to soothe them. Culturally, music is a powerful tool to bring people together from different social groups to connect and relate to each other.
Music has also been shown by decades of research to benefit child development in the areas of speech, cognitive abilities, memory, pattern recognition, reasoning, and in later years has been shown to impact better math study outcomes, no matter the socioeconomic status of the children studied. Psychologically, music has been shown to improve mental well being, and is used in Music Therapy to help patients fighting a myriad of disabilities and diseases, including Alzheimer's, stress, substance abuse, even mothers in labor understand the power of music to assist in coping with pain!
Music is simply vital to humanity.
When you engage in music education, you are evoking all of music's powerful tools to create a more balanced, calm, centered, happy and fulfilling life. For some people, it's a way to stay connected to themselves in a busy lifestyle full of commuting and meetings and expectations. For others, they are inspired to pick up a new skill or fulfill a lifelong dream. Some people who pick up music lessons and take music classes are simply curious people who want more out of life. Whatever your motivation is, the outcome can be simply an amazing experience that you can feel right away.
Children can experience these same results in their own lives, bustling with sports and school and homework and social struggles. Kids are under tremendous stress! Music is an avenue to self expression and awareness that can lead to greater confidence, sharper focus, and by the way...it's FUN!
A child inspired by passion and motivated by creativity is a person who can move mountains!!
