There has been a lot of news coverage about stressed out children who are juggling sports, school work, social activity and even interactive products like video games and personal digital assistants. Why should a parent involve a child in music if they are excelling in something else, like sports?
NAMM doesn’t believe in an either or scenario. Music has a positive and fundamental place in anyone’s life, no matter what age. From young children to teenagers, playing a musical instrument has proven to increase cognitive development in children, build confidence, create social connections, inspire creativity and initiate a life-long hobby.
