Why Music is so important in our lives

2/11/2015

 
I have just been listening to an interview /article on NPR this morning about a cellist (and teacher at Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore) named Amit Peled, who plays Pablo Casals' own cello.  Mr. Peled will give a concert on that instrument on Thursday at Peabody in honor of the same concert given by Casals.  In the course of the interview, Peled says that growing up in rural Israel, every child had to learn to play an instrument.  A reader comments..."Did you hear that American legislators, school boards and taxpayers?!  Can you imagine how many Amits we are deprived of because music education has been gutted from public schools?" There is a link given, then, to an article discussing the benefits of math, reading, language arts, and spatial intelligence.  I continually have conversations with people who lament the loss of arts education in our schools.  Food for thought?
