Music is mathematical, music involves literacy skills, music is scientific, music is historical, music is art, music accompanies dance, music involves elements of geography – music makes use of all parts of the brain!

The benefits of setting, working toward, and achieving, a musical goal are invaluable - whether personal reasons, performing in a music festival, or performing in a concert. Music education contributes to student success in all subject areas!
