In
modern society, children's attention is often
diverted away from the arts by the internet,
television, and electronic devices. Children
who are engaged in music and performing arts
find a true source of enjoyment along with
developing their personal creativity, social
connections, intellect, work
ethic, and sense of craftsmanship. Similarly, adults
continue to find music to be of great benefit and enjoyment.
