Ten Benefits Of Music Lessons

March 1, 2015 By Sara Mullett Leave a Comment

I know these benefits of music lessons to be true, first hand from years of experience teaching music and from raising my own kids. There are many excellent articles and studies on the subject of the benefits of music available from educational specialists far more qualified than me. There are some links at the bottom of this post to some good articles from around the web on the subject, if you wanted to do some further reading.
