Music Advocacy - Keep Music in your Schools

http://www.flmusiced.org/advocacy/index.html#impact

Music is one of the seven intelligences identified in the brain and the only one that utilizes all seven intelligences simultaneously. Thus, students who participate in music courses exercise more of their brain than in any other course they take in school.


The benefits conveyed by music education can be grouped into four categories:

Success in society
Success in school
Success in developing intelligence
Success in life
