Music Appreciation Study Guide 2

INTRODUCTION

After understanding the different types of music, students can start appreciating it and even feeling motivated to create their own. Learning about music is vital because it makes us see our world magical. Plato once said that music “is a more powerful instrument than any other for education”. Recent research has found that music uses both sides of the brain, a fact that makes it valuable in all areas of development. Music is academic, physical, emotional, and spiritual, music is for life. In fact, it lasts our entire lives.
