"Some people think music education is a privilege, but I think it's essential to being human."

Why Study Music?

The benefits of music training have long been evident. Music training helps develop motor skills, aural and reading skills, good work ethics and much more. Learning to play an instrument is rewarding and deeply satisfying but benefits surpass musical education alone. Study after study has shown how children who have had musical training succeed more then those who did not. Music helps children not only develop motor skills, it helps with emotional and behavioral maturity, anxiety management and emotional stability.
Research shows music education facilitates learning other subjects. Multi-step skills needed for solving problems in areas like math, engineering and architecture can be learned through music. Studies show that music training is connected to academic achievement and higher IQ as well. Music helps develop creative thinking, a skill possessed by any highly successful professional. Studies also indicate a link between music training and reading skills. Well developed language skills can have a lifelong impact on overall social life.
