Power of<br />
Classical<br />
Music<br />
By: Zoe Patterson<br />

Music is part of my life! It’s<br />
not because I will choose<br />
music for my future studies<br />
or career. It’s because music is part of<br />
who I am.<br />
Music has many benefits. It has<br />
been known to increase creativity.<br />
Children, who had more than 3 years<br />
of training with classical musical<br />
instruments, often have high selfesteem<br />
and perform well in<br />
innovative activities.<br />
Playing an instrument teaches how<br />
to coordinate with others. Many times<br />
you have to adjust the high or loud<br />
sound, especially in a group.<br />
Discipline is another benefit of playing<br />
an instrument. Being good at anything<br />
requires practice, but to become<br />
great at it, we need more and more<br />
practice. That is when we also learn<br />
about priorities and making right<br />
choices: to watch TV or tweet or to<br />
practice to be great at cello.<br />
Sometimes I think I am slow to<br />
become great at things. It takes me a<br />
long time to get good at a lot of activities<br />
while many of my peers catch on<br />
immediately. But when I play cello, I<br />
am in a different world. My imagination<br />
rises high with inner satisfaction.<br />
After having played cello for 6 years,<br />
I am now comfortable with writing<br />
my own music. Classical music gave<br />
me the spark to express who I am<br />
through my own music.<br />
