Students will learn lessons of cooperation, patience, perseverance, creativity, time management, and hard work, all of which are virtues that make for a great member of society. Yet, while these are all valuable and are certainly applicable in several different aspects of life, music is worth studying simply for the sake of music. Music is great because it is music. It is something that is enjoyable in and of itself, and something that connects many different people from several different backgrounds. Read More
