How Music Education Can Be the Base of All Education

Music education is much more than just learning the skill to play an instrument. Music education touches many areas in your life and your development.

In this video I stand on my soap box and talk about how music education affects the following:

- Playing a musical instrument creates complex connections in your brain which have the nice side effect that your IQ increase (the Mozart effect)
- Motorial skills
- Cultural (arts) and historical knowledge and interest
- Reading
- Abstract thinking
- Social skills
- Timing
- Memory training
- Creativity
- Self esteem and cooping system
- Connection between body and mind
- Bilateral learning, learning with both halves of your brain
- Sensitivity

Is this video useful to you? Please let me know in the comments!

Love,

Zlata

"Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosphy. Music is the electrical soil
in which the spirit lives, thinks and invents."
~ Ludwig van Beethoven ~
