5 Reasons to Register for Music Lessons & Classes Today

Music education is fun, enriching, and educational. The Manchester Community Music School offers lessons and classes for people at every stage of life.

There are limitless reasons for you or your child to participate in music education. Here are just five!

1. Music is academic.

For some people, this is the primary reason for providing music lessons to their children. Education is at the heart of successful futures for our children.  100% of our graduating seniors last year went on to college. 100%! Music education, beginning as early as six months old, enhances cognitive functioning, academic performance, social and emotional skills and more.

2. Music is healing.

For people with developmental disabilities, physical ailments, and our aging population, music and Music Therapy meaningfully improves an individual’s and their family’s quality of life. Music heals our bodies, minds, and spirits.

3. Music is a language that connects us to each other and to ourselves.

Everyone in the world speaks ‘music.’ Every culture creates and enjoys music, and when there are language barriers, music breaks them down.  In our country, music brings people together from all walks of life, of different politics and religions, and offers common ground and mutually shared experiences. Music brings us together.

4. Music is emotional and physical.

Music is an art form. We are emotional beings and every child requires an artistic outlet. Music may be your child’s vehicle of expression. Music can be described as a sport. Learning to sing and keep rhythm develops coordination. The air and wind power necessary to blow a flute, trumpet or saxophone promotes a healthy body.

5. Music is for life.

We as humans are able to absorb and be influenced by hearing music in the womb. And until the end of our lives we can enjoy and often make music in some way, no matter what our age.

• Private Lessons
