What? Music teaches us all of these assets? Yes, indeed.
Focus
Look at the face and demeanor of each of these young musicians. There is no question that they are focusing
Pitch
When a student is taking music lessons, their sense of pitch gets better everytime. Music teachers take care to sing in tune, play in tune, and to consistently ask/help their students to play in tune
Tone
Beautiful tone is imperative no matter which instrument is played upon! Again, music teachers take care to model beautiful tone and teach their students how to play with the best tone
Coordination
Every instrument is different in its challenges to play with seamless coordination. Imagine the physical differences between playing a tuba and a violin!
Cooperation
Whether it be a duo or a full band/orchestra, cooperation between players is imperative to expressing the music
Memorization
Blake Shelton, The Beatles, Maria Carey, Sarah Vaughn, Louis Armstrong, The Black Keys, Miles Davis, Nirvana, and many other artists must memorize their music: where they will breathe or pause, and any other detail(i.e. where the pyrotechnics will come in, dance steps)in order to perform well
Imagine all the ways these assets lend themselves to your child's life.
