so why do we need music?

Why is it so important that we have music in our lives...or your life more specifically? The answer to this question is different for everyone whether it be to heal themselves, to perfect the art of playing the oboe, to express themselves, or to score better on their math tests, music is personal and different for each person and I want you to really think about this question this week.

I want you to take a look at this article from the National Association for Music Education about why music in our schools is so important. There are so many benefits we do not even think about on a daily basis that music gives us.

So after reading this and thinking about music and your own life I want you to discuss by commenting on this post: Where do you think you would be in your life if you did not have a music education? Parents maybe some of you did not have a music education so I want you to think about how different your child would be if they were not given the gift of music in their school. A few short sentences on behalf of the student or part of the parents prospective will suffice.
