It is important for the teacher not only to impose the values of society, but also to make students aware of their own position on these morals. While language can become a barrier between cultures, music can serve as a translator. Not all people understand all of the languages around the world, but I believe that music serves as an international language, understood by most anyone. Where one could not express themselves in their native language, music helps to simplify the task, and break down the language barriers. I believe that music is an important part of learning, and should be learned by all.
Students are more easily able to grasp knowledge of other cultures, and their traditions.
Where small communities may not have the opportunity to actually live among other cultures, they have the opportunity to learn more about them through their forms of music. While students become more aware of other cultures, they can also become more aware of their own. By expanding their knowledge base, the student is making themselves more aware and tolerant of their surroundings. Music also has an effect on the ability of a person to express themselves. By learning to control ones emotions through music, it is also possible to control ones actions by music as well.
