Importance of Music and Performing Arts Education
“The life of the arts, far from being an interruption, a distraction, in the life of the nation, is close to the center of a nation’s purpose.” – John F. Kennedy
Children who are engaged in music and the performing arts find personal fulfillment while developing their identity, creativity, intellect, social connections, work ethic, and craftsmanship.
MTC’s music education and performance programs impart important life skills and prepare children for success as parents, members of the community, and in fields such as the arts, science, education, medicine, engineering, politics, business, and law.
