Music is an important part of every child's
life, however few children have the chance to learn the language of music...to
read it...to feel it...to actually play it. Your child has that opportunity
this fall as we start Beginning Band! As a parent, you can introduce music into
the life of your child and improve their education.
Just listening to music is fun, but playing
it is even better! Being in a band is a chance to be part of a team that is
full of children learning, growing and participating. There is always 100%
involvement. There are no "second strings" or "riding the
bench" in band.
Science is discovering exciting new things
about how music helps develop the mind. Learning to play an instrument has now
been linked to improved math skills and other higher order thinking. National
research proves that children who study an instrument in school get better
grades!
A child who learns to perform music
develops an entirely new dimension in their life. Music is the universal
language. They will learn about history and traditions and develop an
appreciation for the diversity of other cultures. They learn creativity and how
to judge the quality of music they hear. They begin to look at music as an art
and in a whole new perspective.
