FUND FOR THE FUTURE: FAITES DE LA MUSIQUE
Music unites us, on March 25th as we celebrate and enjoy music; our goals are for LFSF students to discover and make music. Through the music program, we want music to be a meaningful part of student's life now and for the future.
Why is music education so important?
There are almost as many reasons to learn music as there are types of music to love. Musical training helps develop language, reasoning, and memory. Practicing with musical instruments increases coordination. Through music, children learn teamwork. Learning to play pieces of music gives a sense of achievement and builds confidence. It can teach discipline and be relaxing. Music builds imagination and intellectual curiosity.
