Time Management

Learning to play an instrument isn’t a skill you can master overnight. Learning music takes time and effort, and helps children understand that if they want to be good at something, they’ll need to put in the hours and organize their time effectively.

Home Base

Students often struggle to fit in during middle school and high school years, educators say, and band provides them with a “home base” that offers social structure, a self-esteem boost, a way to learn about working with others and just have a good time.

Memory

Researchers have found that learning to play a musical instrument can enhance verbal memory, spatial reasoning and literacy skills. Playing an instrument makes you use both sides of your brain, which strengthens memory power.
