By providing these students with a piano, you are giving them opportunities that they would not have had before. This will allow the students to perform in our first Spring Music Concert. Studies show that participating in music: 1. Increases memory skills and motor skill coordination. 2. teaches perseverance and a sense of achievement. 3. Improves math skills and reading comprehension. 4. Creates responsibility. 5. Exposes students to culture and history. 6. Nurtures self-expression. 7. Improves listening and social skills. In addition, music performance is a creative therapeutic approach to helping troubled teens who act out in anger. Instrumental and vocal performance are mediums that teens tend to gravitate to naturally, so it can be very effective. This form of expression offers children the escape route to share who they are.
