Learning to play music has many rewards. Scientists have learned that it stimulates brain development, and
other studies have shown that children who learn an
instrument tend to get better grades in school. This may
be because learning an instrument is difficult and builds
good habits like discipline and patience. Also, playing in a group like a band or
orchestra can help build teamwork. Another benefit is that performing in public can
help children gain self-confidence. Music can become a lifelong hobby or even a
career! For all of these reasons, all students should learn to play an instrument.
