The following is an excerpt from a workshop recently presented at the Michigan Association of Christian Schools Teachers Convention earlier this week.

Originally posted on Religious Affections Ministries

In the words of the workshop speaker, the purpose of the workshop was:

• to convince teachers that it is important that music be a part of your classroom
• persuade teachers that music is essential to your students’ educational development

The goal was to demonstrate how music will help students:

• Physically
• Academically
• Socially
• Morally
• Emotionally
• Spiritually
