Twelve Benefits of Music Education:

1.) Develops brain areas involved in language and reasoning.
2.) Spacial Intelligence- critical to the sort of thinking necessary solving advanced mathematics problems.
3.) Creative thinking and solving problems by imagining various solutions, rejecting outdated rules and assumptions.
4.) Statistically score higher on standardized tests and achieve higher grades.
5.) Provides an internal glimpse of other cultures and promotes empathy towards the people of these cultures.
6.) Students of music learn the value of craftsmanship, quality, and pride in their work.
7.) Through music study, students learn the value of sustained effort to achieve excellence and the concrete rewards of hard work.
8.) Music study enhances teamwork skills and discipline.
9.) Promotes self-expression, which in turn leads to better self-esteem and confidence.
10.) Music study develops skills that are necessary in the workplace. It focuses on "doing," and teaches students how to perform, literally, anywhere in the world.
11.) Music performance teaches (children especially) people to conquer fear and to take risks- something completely necessary to fulfilling ones true potential.
12.) An arts education exposes one to the incomparable.

And if that's not enough...

Regardless of age, experience, or goals, I teach all of my students music theory and how to read basic music notation. Though they are interconnected, most instructors, if at all, only teach reading notation, not the complex theory behind the notation.

Here are some of the basic ideas we'll start with, regardless of which instrument or style you wish to learn:

Music = Pitch & Meter

Basically, music is no more than certain frequencies at certain times. Through the proper exercises and drills, we learn how to recognize and manipulate these two variables and turn them into music!

The 5 Elements of Music:

Melody
Harmony
Chords
Basslines/Counterpoint
Rhythms

Like a car with many moving parts, there is one goal- to move forward and arrive to our destination. And though the wheels move towards the direction the vehicle is heading, there are many parts just as important to arriving at our destination, like the cooling fan, that are turning in the opposite direction.

Music or songs, can be compared to a car in this way. The Melody is the purpose or the wheels, and the other parts are there moving to support it. Sometimes, the parts may move in opposite directions, but when done right, support each other well, regardless. Music with only a melody, would be like a car with only wheels.
