When a child learns by experience that creating music links one's self to the world, self expression becomes more fluent. The child who is taught how to make music learns much about his or her innate creativity. It may then be a short jump to making the connection between self-discipline and performance in life. Music programs alone may not be the answer to all the educational and social problems among youth, but many agree it would be foolish to discount music education's contributions to finding solutions in these areas. Music is one of the few areas of study available to children that can bring such a diversity of positive factors together in the same classroom at the same time.
Every child needs a success, a means of gaining recognition.
It's a part of the growing-up process, with each accomplishment contributing positively to the development of a stronger personality. Music provides almost daily opportunity for individual accomplishment and, with each success, you child gains confidence. Children who participate in school music programs begin to know themselves, to believe in their abilities and to gain strength as individuals. Music stirs the memory of our people. It connects us to our history, our traditions, our heritage.
