There are four distinct areas of a child’s life that are enhanced by music education. Public schools and boarding schools in Northumberland are seeing the value in this, how it affects one not only while they are in school, but will have effects for the rest of one’s life. Reality is that many schools lack the funding to provide these classes, as well as other classes, and instead of being a wonderful reality, they are sometimes just an unattainable wish. But not all administrators will allow that to happen, because the benefits, many based on scientific and sociological research. The four categories researchers have outlined concerning the benefits are the ‘successes’, success in school, society, developing intelligence, and in life in general are reasons for these programs to be protected.

And in life, as in school, music teaches discipline and the promotion of working with others, with cooperation and respect. Music and the arts, are an integral part of the education of the youth of today, and one should do all they can to see that these programs remain in the school systems in Northumberland, and the schools throughout the world.
