Music education involves teaching students about music appreciation, vocabulary, discipline, and problem solving skills in addition to playing instruments. It has been part of human culture for centuries and was a fundamental part of education in cities like Boston beginning in the 18th century. Current music education standards focus on singing, playing instruments, composing, listening and analyzing music. Integrating music into other subjects can help students build skills in areas like math and language arts. Different musical styles can produce physical and emotional effects and influence mood.
