Many may not have ever had any musical training. Some may have been training for years. I as a teacher must bring these students together in a common struggle against musical ignorance. It is this struggle to learn that makes music so wonderful. Students gain self-confidence when they complete difficult musical ventures.
Students studying music also have the opportunity to study other cultures by examining their music.
This can lead to a greater interest in such subjects as history or geography. Music's complicated formulas and structure may entice the math and science students. The emotional aspects of performing may draw a person interested in drama. People are drawn for different reasons, but when they are a choir or an instrumental ensemble their energies are all put together for one goal, to understand and perform music. Music is an expressive language.
