Studies have shown that music, and playing an instrument helps not only a child's creativity, but also develops all areas of learning such as focusing, language and reasoning, math, studying practices and memorization, and much more. Having keyboards for my Middle School students will allow them to succeed in all of these areas, nurture their creativity and self-esteem, and greatly enhance lives in an area that is in need of inspiration. If we can acquire keyboards that I can use in each of my Middle School classes, my students will also demonstrate responsibility for the instrument and appreciation for the arts.
