The Prominence of Music Education in Houston Society
By Nora F. - Houston Piano Teacher
Music is the fifth largest expenditure in the United States, which demonstrates its high status in the eyes of popular culture. Living and teaching piano lessons in Houston has emphasized the prominence of music education. Houston's diverse music scene can be seen from the vast venues such as Jones Hall, Wortham Theater, the House of Blues, etc. In March of 2010, State Farm promoted support for music education where Houstonians could donate instruments for schools. In May 2011, Katy ISD was recognized by the NAMM Foundation as the Best Communities for Music Education. Not only does music have high importance in the public school system, but can be observed in the variety of colleges in Houston that offer music degrees, such as University of Houston and Rice University.
Through music education, students can develop artistry and inventive thinking, which can encourage them to find a variety of solutions to solve a problem. I often reinforce this thinking to my piano students in Houston. Music training encourages excellence in each student enabling him or her to learn the value of hard work, commitment to work, and teamwork when performing with other students in a program. Music can become an outlet for an individual as a means of self-expression, and can help boost an individual’s self-esteem. Success in the arts can help students to do better in other academic areas such as math and language arts. From my experience teaching piano lessons in Houston, I’ve discovered the values of music education. Not only can music education in the schools help students, but private instruction with a well-educated professional musician-teacher can change an individual’s life forever.
