Savannah+School+Music+Programs

For years people have been debating if Music Education is worth their time and money. Is it worth the time to play an instrument? And learn to play it well? Is it worth the money to spend to get it? Or to fix it when it gets broken? But no one thinks of the effects it has on a child’s life. Most people say there is no real future, no real life for it.

The first thing that came out of people’s mouths is: what does music have to do with school or tasting? Nothing. However, students that participate in music programs have higher test grades in schools. It helps them with mathematics, concentrate, and to listen better. They are not only playing on instruments and having fun, but learning as well.

The second thing that people companies about is: how does it keep the kids in school? It gives them a motivation on to keep them busy. You do not see students in music programs get it trouble. Yes, other students are committed to other activities. But most music devoted students have higher IQ’s and higher attendance.

The third thing that people come up with to complain about is: what can it do for students for college? Will, there are a lots of thing music can help with for college. If you play really good, some college will give you money to go to their colleges. What if I’m not going in to the music world, how will it help me then? There is other ways for it to help you in the real world. I have seen many students that have graduated from school, that were in band. Many had scholarships form their hard work in band. But only if you are really good, do you really get that privilege. But not all of them go to a music based career.

Band is the only thing that keeps me in school. Without it I would never graduate high school. Or I would be in trouble up to my ears. I have seen changes in my grades and in my schooling. A music education benefits students more than people realize.
