“The arts aren’t just important because
they improve math scores, they are important because they speak to parts of children’s being which are otherwise untouched.” “A real education has to give equal weight to the arts, humanities, to physical education." |
Two quotes from TED talk legend Sir Ken Robinson revealing the roadmap for raising your kids. While all the intellectual benefits of piano classes and music lessons are a nice bonus, the real value of taking music lessons are the life skills and values it teaches kids. (this is probably why music majors have the highest acceptance rate into medical schools.) The fact that music education creates well-rounded, confident children, helps them become whole human beings who are sensitive to the world around them and teaches them the ability to think critically is why finding your music school and giving piano classes and music lessons to your kids is such an important and worthwhile undertaking. |
