Why I Music Education Beneficial?

I’ve written many posts about how to practice, how to play, how to record and how to do many other things related to music.  It occurred to me, I’ve haven’t written much about why we should study music.  I guess I took for granted the fact that my audience is mostly composed of musicians who already love studying music.  However, there may be some readers out there who are considering taking up an instrument (or vocal studies), or some people who are just not sure if this is worth it.

Today I wanted to speak to the benefits of music education by quoting a post made by NAME (the National Association for Music Education).  In it, they list 20 benefits of music in our schools.  Although this post is primarily geared toward music education in schools, it is applicable to all aspects of music education.
