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.

DIDACTIC ASSISTANCE
