Musical News

This is part of an article by renowned Australian conductor Richard Gill in response to a question about the importance of including music within the Australian Education Curriculum:

“It is now a matter of well-established scientific fact that involving children in a properly structured music program has a profound impact on the overall well-being of a child physically, intellectually and emotionally. The earlier in the life of a child the involvement with music starts the better. If this music program involves an association with movement, such as elementary dance, the benefits to the child increase exponentially. Apart from the intrinsic worth of music and dance the extrinsic benefits are manifold; increased attention spans; heightened powers of concentration; increased capacity to listen and memorise and as a result of all this heightened capacities to think and act creatively.”
