This amazing game has the potential to inspire a life-long love of music. The National Association for Music Education states that music education leads to success in society, school, developing intelligence, and life.

As music is a vital part of society and culture, it is equally vital that all children are given the opportunity to understand, explore, and create music.

School

The skills children hone through music education transfer to study skills, communication skills, and cognitive skills.

Developing Intelligence
