Music Lessons Enrich Lives
A quality music education has far reaching impact on student’s lives. The act of mastering the instrument, learning to hear tonal organization, integrating multiple forms of learning, all have positive effects on the brain. Many studies have shown studying music develops connections in the brain that increase learning capacity and ward off the effects of aging later in life. Problem solving, breaking the complexities of music into small and easily manageable portions, enhances skills that serve us in all capacities. Students with successful high school music careers have a significant advantage when it’s time to submit college applications, their supplemental arts application sets them apart and demonstrates their ability to accomplish their goals—relied on heavily by college admissions. The study of music is a never ending journey which enriches student’s lives far beyond their ability to perform.
Students are inspired to perform
Students are inspired to perform in order to develop their talents and mature into confident artists. Performance is an essential element in motivating students to master their lessons and grow into accomplished musicians; each occasion presents a set goal which students work towards, inspiring them to improve on their abilities. Bellevue School of Music holds semiannual recitals offering students a relaxed and supportive environment, more advanced students are urged to take advantage of the many opportunities the Greater Seattle Area presents: the Seattle Young Artist Music Festival, Performing Arts Festival of the Eastside, Bellevue Music Club (local chapter of the National Federation of Music Clubs) and Washington Music Educators Association regional and state festivals. Performance is the essence of music and Bellevue School of Music offers every student the opportunity to develop to their fullest potential.
