A short time ago, the importance of music, in a student's education was being questioned. It seemed that nobody thought that music class was as vital as math, science, or any of the other core classes. Music is a part of everyone's daily life. It fills the space. It's playing when you go to a restaurant, or even when you are in an elevator, and when you call to make an appointment and are put on hold.
Music is what makes movies frightening, sad, and exciting.
From infancy through adulthood and beyond music plays a role in our lives. We, as human beings need some kind of music experience in order to survive. Our senses have needs and music is an activity that is fulfilling and satisfying. It nurtures and helps heal, when we need it. Music allows us to create and experience ourselves, and others.
