The Benefits of Music - a lifetime to discover!


This week I have listened to 3 different programs on both radio and TV about the benefits of learning music. It warms my soul when the truth comes out, and especially in such a flood of recognition of something we have known for ever! There is irrefutable evidence of just how good Music is for us - from the Cradle to the Grave is how I describe it.

I just wonder how long it will be before EVERYONE understands just how important it is to make Music one of the CORE elements of their education! It has for too long been delegated to the 'Optional Extras' of life.

Parents and caregivers and educators I think have a responsibility to younger generations and be sure we do all we can to involve and immerse children in music from as early an age as possible. There is no point asking a young child whether they WANT to learn! We know why they SHOULD and there is no excuse to hesitate - or pass the decision making onto these very ones whose very lives need the best of foundations - intellectually, culturally, emotionally and socially.

Go to the side of the this blog and read the links which have come from some of these recent investigative media presentations to remind yourselves of why you need to act now!
