Other: In closing I would like to comment on how important music is to a child's development and I would also like to include adults. Children take to music naturally. Musicals sounds are among the first stimuli an infant responds to, and toddlers weave music into many of their activities. Musical activities including playing an instrument help all to develop physical coordination, timing, visual, memory, aural and language skills. As a music teacher I engage all students in learning the fundamental and joys of music. All students can succeed Yes music is a very important fabric of our lives, and I feel it is so important to continue to weave music into our lives.
