WHY MUSIC EDUCATION?

Cuts to school budgets always seem to hit music education the hardest. Learning music as part of a well-rounded education is regarded as a "nice to have" -- not a "need to have" element of a well-rounded education. With all due respect, we at 9 Beats USA disagree.

Mothers sing to comfort their newborns and teach them the alphabet by singing the A-B-C’s to a simple little tune. As we grow, the singalong songs of our childhood are replaced by the pop and rock songs we hear on the radio. Together with our classmates, we cheer the school team by singing and clapping along with our school’s fight song. We learn hymns in our houses of worship, jingles from advertising. Music is all around us and permeates our lives. Whether it’s classic rock or classical Bach, these songs and more become the soundtracks of our lives. Music is what bonds us and is something that we can all enjoy literally from the cradle to the grave. Music is a life skill.

Let's be honest... As adults, do any of us celebrate special occasions by gathering around the kitchen table with friends and family to do Algebra or conjugate irregular verbs? Probably not.

Not to disparage fans of Algebra or verb-conjugation, but a child’s education limited solely to the mastery of English language arts, mathematics and hard sciences – and lacking study of drama, dance, music and visual arts – deprives students of the exploration of ideas, concepts and expression that cannot be summarized or even expressed in words or numbers.

Music is what bonds us. It marks our celebrations, our triumphs and even our tragedies. If you're a fan of a band -- no matter where you go in the world, if you find another fan -- you have a bond with a complete stranger.

Music is a NEED to have and 9 Beats USA wants to make sure you have what you need. Of course, if you enjoy getting together with your friends to do Algebra...?

We're pretty sure you're playing some music in the background too.
