My favorite piece to perform, you've probably heard it, here is a link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwHpDOWhkGk |
Just think of it! Imagine you are a parent, (possible/impossible) what would you do to help your child develop? Imagine watching them learning and honing all of those skills required by a musician to perform. Imagine how greater their capacity would expand by exercising their mind (cause and effect) rather than mindlessly watching T.V for hours on end. (Contradiction) Learning to perform an instrument provides life long benefits in the health and capacity of the brain. (Antecedent/Consequence) In her article from National Geographic magazine Diane Cole sites several scientific studies and tests that have been performed that show higher levels of grey and white matter in the brains of adults who have played musical instruments since childhood.

Post-Concert with one of my stand partners, I recommend Mark Olson's post, we were definitely dressed for success. |
I personally have seen the benefits of learning to perform a musical instrument. I play the cello, I love it. It is one of my favorite hobbies, it has increased my ability to memorize and the motor skills of my body and brain. (Testimony) Whenever I pick up my cello and play its as though some imaginary wind blows through my mind and clears everything away. (Supernatural)
Great way to use resources. I like how you showed that you had read other's posts. I think you had a good combination of authority and personal testimony. Well done Austin.
ReplyDeleteas a musician I agree fully with your post. I liked your use of contradiction when you showed that learning an instrument is so much more meaningful than simply watching T.V.
