Here are some things that come to mind from my work with all ages of students:
- Some students study toward Royal Conservatory of Music Exams
- Some take the skills they have learned and transfer them to study other instruments
- Band and Choral programs in elementary and high schools benefit from the training that students recieve from private lessons
- Some students take the skills they have learned and become teachers themselves
- All students gain a sense of musical literacy and are able to transfer those skills to whatever style of music they enjoy, whether pop, jazz, classical, hip-hop or world music
- Studying classical music gives students a background in music history, and helps gain a greater understanding of our culture, arts and historical events
- Music study creates a generation of supporters of the arts, symphony programs, and other cultural events
- Students gain comfort in performing for a group, a skill which can be transferred to many areas of life and business
- Taking lessons creates a love of music; playing for fun and relaxation, sharing music for the joy of it, and embracing a journey that lasts a lifetime!
