Music involves these aspects and concurrently
provides development of motor skills. Note that
students are not expected to major in music nor
make it a career. However, music
involves many aspects of physical
and mental focus including eyes,
brain, dexterity, hands, feet,
counting, and interactions with the
other players.
Music helps people to be human and recognize
beauty beyond what they would otherwise
experience. It brings people closer to another
dimension with love and compassion, moving
toward a fulfilling life where their personal
excellence will be pursued in whatever
endeavor or career they choose. Students also
develop an appreciation
for others who pursue life
interests that differ from
their own.
