As a musician working in the corporate world, I have had many discussion with friends and colleagues regarding the lack of the arts in education, especially music. There is an assumption that because they are “successful” and did not participate in music or arts classes that it is a wonderful adjunctive class to have but not a necessity. Music teaches us so many important lessons that adjunct reading, science, math, history, and more. We can draw from music to learn basic directions, stop, start, up and down, we can learn drama from the great operas or programmatic music that tells nonverbal stories to simulate our imagination. We learn problem solving skills in figuring out alternative fingerings for many of the instruments we play, we learn acoustic and math in learning pitch and music notation. All this is wonderful, but most important we learn emotion. To feel, and isn’t life feelings. I wonder if some of the inner city schools had more music education there would be a decline in bullying, and teen violence. Are these children lacking emotion and empathy? Do they not feel when they are beating up another child? Music gives us that appreciation of life and respect for others and the world around us. I will do my best to keep the music playing in my life and hope other will follow. Thank you for your blog today.
