8. Musical Training like ecucation in the visual arts
also stimulates creative thinking moreso than education in the hard sciences...mathematics and life sciences, etc....

I think all of the emphasis placed on technology in education is misplaced...In many cases, success in the arts may compensate for weaknesses in the sciences and vice versa....Both disciplines should be taught - I'm a great advocate for the arts and am dismayed that it is the first component of a school curriculum to face the budget guillotine...

Just finished reading I WAS A DANCER by the American artist, Kennedy Center Awards recipient Jacques D'Amboise..a great read about dance & education in America.
