Why Music?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Imagine for a second a baseball game starting without the national anthem, a movie without a soundtrack, or a silent parade \u2013 strange, isn\u2019t it? Music is an integral part of an amazing number of the tasks we perform and events we participate in every day; removing the musical component can make those events seem boring, less important, or even downright silly. Without music we feel less emotionally fulfilled, less socially connected, and less spiritually aware. In other words, music plays a vital role in infusing meaning into our lives, both listeners and participants alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Music is\u2026<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A Business. Far from being just an \u201cicing\u201d activity, music is a multi-billion dollar industry. Every year, millions of people attend concerts, purchase recordings, listen to the radio\u2026and each of those activities is impossible without musicians. In addition, movies, television shows, ads, religious services, and national and military functions (to name a few) all depend on musicians for a large part of their impact and appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Skill. Learning an instrument takes focus, perseverance, and dedication. Physiologically, it develops hand-eye coordination, fine and ultra-fine motor skills, timing, and rhythm. And although music is often associated with the idea of \u201cinnate talent\u201d, it is a skill that can be developed like any other \u2013 with training, practice, and performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Art. Society and even civilizations are chronicled by their art \u2013 paint, sculpture, music, and literature \u2013 throughout their histories; while technology and industry are constantly changing, art and music continue to inspire for generations. Music provides both a personal avenue for creativity and expression and a lasting contribution to any culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many people view learning music as a means to an end \u2013 music helps you \u201cget better at math\u201d, \u201cdevelop hand-eye coordination\u201d, or \u201clearn life-skills and character qualities\u201d. And while these are excellent goals and real benefits from music study, they don\u2019t really address the concept of being musical. Learning an instrument, studying music, working on aural skills \u2013 these are all aspects of simply being musical, which is a very significant part of being human. Everyone, everywhere, is born with the capacity to be musical \u2013 that is, to appreciate, enjoy, and create music. Relegating music to the position of merely \u201chelping other skills along\u201d fundamentally denies our human nature \u2013 and robs of us a deeper understanding and appreciation of ourselves, our relationships, and our place in the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
