Why Music?  

Because it builds 

Character . . .

Music helps develop qualities of good character such as self-esteem, self-discipline, creativity, determination, and teamwork. Participating, creating, and performing in music programs contributes to a sense of pride and accomplishment. As students improve their skill, they feel better about themselves. As they practice, they become well disciplined.... with music, with studies, and with life. Statistics show that the crime rate is lower among people with musical backgrounds. Over one thousand congressmen and successful businessmen stated that playing a musical instrument as a child helped develop character and leadership skills, and all but two of the United States Presidents had music lessons.
