Post-COVID, many of our children face a journey of unprecedented challenges … mentally, emotionally and socially. While music education has been recognized as an essential learning tool that keeps youth academically engaged and develops well-rounded, critical thinking, it has never been more urgently needed to fill their hearts with self-esteem and fuel their minds with vital cognitive skills.
”Music is a more potent instrument than any other for education, because rhythm and harmony find their way into the inward places of the soul.
Plato
”Music enhances the education of our children by helping them to make connections and broadening the depth with which they think and feel. If we are to hope for a society of culturally literate people, music must be a vital part of our children’s education.
