Originally published in TEACH Magazine, November/December 2021 Issue

Music education has been shown to improve memory and focus, literacy skills, creativity, and empathy, as well as overall academic achievement. And what better way to get students interested in learning to play an instrument than by letting them see those instruments in action? These virtual concerts, workshops, and accompanying resources are great opportunities to show students all the joys and wonders that music can bring.
