These are my thoughts, values and theories about teaching music and I plan to do my best to abide by these goals when I become a teacher. Music is important to life because it adds an element of enjoyment to life. It is a part of everyones lives and cultures and it is the only thing all cultures have in common. It is hard to imagine a life without music. It is used for all sorts of things.
Music is entertainment, relaxation, stimulation, and release.
Different kinds of music do different things to the listener or performer. You can find a piece of music that fits whatever mood you happen to be in and to serve whatever purpose you want it to serve. There are many reasons why I feel music should be taught in schools. First of all, music is proven to fuel creativity. Children who learn music are usually smarter in math and science and having music in the schools will help the children in other classes.
