“Music4Life” means different things to different people. To children, learning to play a musical instrument is a meaningful activity — it’s fun and it builds relationships that can last a lifetime. To youth, music opens up the world — its history and its many cultures — and provides opportunities for teamwork and meaningful forms of self-expression. Educators know that music benefits students academically, especially in mathematics, science, history, and world languages. Our community understands that music education helps a person lead a richer, fuller, more meaningful life — and an arts-rich community is a more desirable place to live.
