Music and Arts Chaning Children's Outlooks

 

I have now become an advocate of Music Education in Schools. To watch a group of about 45 students in 6^th grade play after about 8 months of lessons and practice was amazing. Just watching the smiles on their faces from the experience was very gratifying. It takes time, patience, initiative and a bit of skill to play and instruments. Those children rocked and proved that they have what it takes to go far. They have that need to go above and behind where they our right now. All children deserve the opportunity to cultivate a talent and broaden how the look at the world. I enjoyed the performance along with the audience of family and friends – we must support our young. They our the future leaders of this country.

“A grounding in the arts will help our children to see; to bring a uniquely human perspective to science and technology. In short, it will help them as they grow smarter to also grow wiser. (Source: Robert E. Allen, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, AT&T Corporation, in “America’s Culture Begins with Education”) Science and technology our growing fields which I think would be great for girls and minorities to become involve. We can all give our children a foot up on their futures by taking part in things that interest them along with honing in on talents that they have. It may also help us to step out of our own comfort zones and learn something new.
