It is the only Art form we can hear as people hundreds of years ago had. The feelings and thoughts of countless generations are forever cast in Sound. Music is Physical Education. It requires fantastic coordination of the fingers, hands, arms, lips and facial muscles, and control of diaphragmatic, back, stomach and chest muscles, which respond instantly to the sound the ear hears and the mind interprets. There are as many calories burned by a symphony trumpet player in one performance as there are by a quarter-back in a professional football game.
Music is Art.
It allows a human being to take technical and sometimes difficult areas of learning and translate them into human emotion. It helps every person to recognize and understand beauty, and to understand love, compassion and how to live more fully within this world. This is Why We Study Music. Not because we expect you to major in music. Not because we expect people to play music all their lives.
