WHY MUSIC EDUCATION?

It seems like cuts to our our public school budgets always seem to hit Music & Arts Education the hardest and learning music is treated like a "nice to have" -- not a "need to have" aspect of a well-rounded education.


With all due respect, we at Nine Beats USA disagree. 


Music is a life skill. Just as a mother sings to her infant, and we all learn the sing-a-long songs of our childhood -- which are soon replaced by the pop and rock songs, school fight songs, hymns, anthems, jingles and classic songs from before our time -- all 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 EDUCATION

  • Enriches the quality of children’s lives 
  • Promotes cultural awareness Creates social bonds 
  • Makes schools better places to learn
  • Promotes pride of accomplishment
  • Provides an outlet for students to express feelings and emotions
  • Promotes responsibility & teamwork
  • Raises student achievement
  • Develops self-discipline
  • Develops brain/body thinking and coordination
  • Provides constructive entertainment


OK. Let's be honest... One we're past school age, do any of us gather with our friends and family to celebrate special occasions or just have a good time by gathering around the kitchen table to do Algebra? If we're all at the beach and someone has a guitar, do we instead clamor for a pad of paper so we can enjoy conjugating verbs? Probably not. 


Not to disparage fans of Algebra or verb-conjugating, those are deeply important parts of education. But they're not more necessary than the ability to play and appreciate music.

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 Nine Beats USA wants to make sure you have what you need.

And if you enjoy getting together with your friends to do Algebra...? We're pretty sure you're playing some music in the background too.
