If a child doesnt have a genuine desire or the talent, we can find out very quickly. You cant tell whos talented until they try.

By providing band participation very soon after lessons he continues, "the begin, boy or girl gains a sense of achievement, has a chance to show - off a little before an f And the band audience. sessions are lots of fun. One reason for Burgeners success In stimulating latent musical talent has been his unique teaching methods. alTedious memorization most eliminated. Only two things must be learned, he says, and students can play anything put before them. These shortcuts bring fast results and accomplishments. Although most children will never pursue music as a career, educators agree musical training has Important benefits. Children who become proficient In musical learning become better students and better citizens. Musical training taught the right way, they say, will help to train their undeveloped minds to comprehend Ideas and Ideals faster, scholastically and socially.
