Why BGA? Here's Why!

Some people believe that music is a very important part of their life. "Why"? Because music is apart of a well-rounded education, and some believe that schools should offer instrument music instruction as part of the regular curriculum, and participation in school music corresponds with better grades and higher test scores. Music education helps keep kids engaged in school and less likely to drop out while helping them achieve in other academic subjects like math, science, and reading. Music helps communities share ideas and values among cultures and generations, Also it has been proven that music helps develop skills needed in today's workforce: critical thinking, creative problem solving, effective communication, teamwork, and confidence. A lot people wish they had learned to play a musical instrument, and now express an interest in learning to play. Leading to seniors turning to music making as not just an enjoyable pastime, but also for the health and wellness benefits such as enhanced immune systems, stress reduction, and staving off depression and loneliness. Also a portion of our business is to meet the needs of underprivileged youth. I'm sure you would agree that the language of music transcends race, culture, creed or background. With the growing number of public schools having massive budget cuts to include the art departments, we have seen the need to provide students with another route or opportunity to express their musical interests or talents through music workships.
