Critical Position
Various studies have shown the benefits of music education has on people, especially children. These benefits include but are not limited to spatial intelligence (Cooney, 2009), language and reasoning skills, acquisition and problem solving skills, and improved creativity and imagination, which directly relate to critical reasoning. (Cutietta, Hamann, Walker, 1995)
In the United States, many children are unable to develop these skills because of drastic budget cuts to the nationʼs public schools (Hurley, 2004), as well as the No Child Left Behind Act (Lang, Lillie, 2007).
A mobile facility that operates independently of a school district rule, introducing music with a provocative and interactive approach, may encourage its users to pursue greater knowledge of music and obtain its educational benefits.
