Mastro, John. "Benefits of Music Education." A Repository of Useful Knowledge. 25 Sept. 2009. Web. 28 Nov. 2010. <http://www.johnmastro.net/educational/lifelong-benefits-of-music-education/>.
The article has a premise of showing the different lifelong benefits music in education can bring to a person. Music first increases intelligence by increasing retention of knowledge. Music targets particular areas of the brain. The left becomes larger than the right when music learning is involved. This allows more retention of language and reasoning. Music education builds lifelong skills and carries many rewards for the future development of students. Leadership skills are also developed because people who play music focus on “doing,” instead of sitting back and watching. Music Education is referred to as a way of “craftsmanship.” Craftsmanship is used to make things of good work instead of settling for average or mediocre. Students use this to as they work at making good music; it also is brought upon in the classroom. Without the work put in there can’t be any greatness that can come from it. The general purpose of this article is to show that music education is indeed a vital part in student’s lives and can help them develop good habits in school. This article uses many resources to come up with data helping to make the article more accurate. It also uses both qualitative and quantitative data. This article supports that music has great impacts on young adults and the education of music shouldn’t be dropped from schools.
