why we care
The power of music to touch the soul, inspire the mind, and soothe the body is unparalleled. It is directly linked to academic achievement, and its power to inspire is legendary. Every generation throughout history has found a way to create music and has recognized its great impact.
Music helps improve language skills, math skills, social skills, and self-esteem in our children. Thought processes and creativity levels are enhanced when music is implemented into a child’s life. Learning to play an instrument sets the tone for accomplishment and responsibility. Music opens up the mind in the form of expression and improves listening skills.
In many schools and communities throughout the United States, and indeed throughout the world, the teaching of music has been deemed a luxury which they cannot afford. Schools have been forced to cut music programs, thereby putting it “out of reach” for millions of children.
Our children need music.
