Music in Education

The reality is that, after all, many people do not value musical life as they actually should.

In terms of the curriculum itself, the condition is very clear. Music, as a school subject, always takes second place.

They should step out of their comfort zone and invest of their children’s musical education. Everyone sound mind should claim the right of children to receive musical instruction and ensure situations in which the kids of tomorrow are able to discover, cultivate and exploit their very talents.
