Music Strong
Teaching music to everyone
A better musical education for all!
Music makes us smarter. Elementary children who play music show better brain development ("11 Facts About Music"). It is shown children that study music have better reading skills and vocabularies, than their peers (Brown). Those who suffer from learning disabilities strongly benefit from participating in music ("11 Facts About Music"). Playing music uses a lot more than just a voice and/or an instrument (Brown). Children who are involved in music have to engage in many types of skill sets like listening, reading, and muscle memory (Brown). Music is great for the brain and it makes us strong!
Our Plan
- Get our program into more schools
- Plan on encouraging more people to join
- Getting those students grades up
- Instilling a sense of excellence in the students
- Leaving kids with a life full of music
We will be targeting the youth of impoverished or rural areas were musical education has been taken out or doesn't exist. We want to reach those who have no access to a musical education.
