The Importance Of School Music Festivals

By Loraine Fitzmaurice


Music exposes children to the cultural richness of different countries. They are able to learn what other cultures do and learn to respect them. Every education level including high schools from different regions usually hold school music festivals every year to celebrate education and talents in music. Students are able to see various traditions expressed in form of songs.

It is through music that people get to express their creativity through different styles that express emotions and remind people particular time in history. Nevertheless, performers need to follow a certain theme when choosing a song to perform. The event also focuses on a certain period as well as the type of song, be it polka or jazz. Working on a common theme makes students work on the same subject to entertain guests.

People should understand that these celebrations are not only meant to entertain, but also to help children. To start with, children get to learn different songs not taught in school. Competitions and various activities in these events either participated as a group or individually help students learn other skills they have not been taught in their schools.

The occasion also exposes children to musical instruments, choral arrangements and new styles. This promotes social, emotional and academic growth along with improving educational experience. Guardians and parents should encourage their children to try engaging in such activities to learn this important experience. They should avoid criticizing as a waste of time.

Children are also exposed to career opportunities when people get to see their talents. Popular musicians use such events to see young talented students and help them make money out of these talents. This is an easy way for students to get to this industry after completing their studies and show different talents they possess. It is through these talents that can help them have a successful life.

Schools and the event get money by selling different types of foods and musical instrument in commercial booths. Visitors get entertained with these items and buy them. As a result, sellers get profit that can help buy equipments to help students improve their talents. Prizes given during the occasion are sometimes meant to improve different talents pupils have.

School music festivals have also been proven to have positive impact on disabled children. They use rhythm of instruments to open up and communicate their feelings through singing and playing instruments. For this reason, such programs are also held in schools of children with disabilities and are bringing amazing impacts.
