Learning Made Fun

Judy Bartine, M.A., NCTM (Nationally Certified Teacher of Music)

Music study is a powerful vehicle for expressing our deepest feelings. Its language expresses every emotion of our experience. In the words of Phinaeus and Ferb, “Music makes us better, brings us together, and helps me get back that spirit”…And it does!

Here are some ways music can make a difference in your child’s life:

• Music study makes the day more alive and interesting, and thus promotes learning.
• It contributes to constructive self expression and creativity.
• Music performing, listening and composing are satisfying, rewarding and relaxing.
• Students who study music are often happier and do better in school.
• Its unique combination of learning behaviors promote a higher order of thinking skills.
• It is a major source of joy and achievement.
• It builds self esteem, and appreciation of others.
• Music study develops concentration and perseverance.

Many studies have confirmed the value of music study. I invite you to investigate the findings of Dr. Frances Rauscher of the University of Wisconsin and Dr. Gordon Shaw of the University of California, among others.
