Ok, so while all artist feel this way, we musicians have always known that our art form is actually the BEST.
I mentioned in another thread the great speech about Karl Paulnack’s speech on the importance of music to humanity:
“I have come to understand that music is not part of “arts and entertainment” as the newspaper section would have us believe. It’s not a luxury, a lavish thing that we fund from leftovers of our budgets….Music is a basic need of human survival. Music is one of the ways we make sense of our lives, one of the ways in which we express feelings when we have no words, a way for us to understand things with our hearts when we can’t with our minds.”
But now we have SCIENTIFIC PROOF that NOTHING stimulates the brain the way MUSIC does:
Well worth the 4:44 it takes to watch. (In addition to the experience of listening to pop radio today vs. in the 1970’s, lol) this video should be good inspiration of why we might consider putting music education back our curriculum!
And, if you’re scientifically-minded, this may help you overcome your resistance to believing that it’s IMPORTANT to PLAY MUSIC EVERY DAY!!!
Love ya fam,
