[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's something to write an essay about, but won't be a hook unless you are Julliard caliber. Unfortunately, the money you have invested in lessons and an instrument would be better off in an athletic endeavor.[/quote]There are many talented musicians playing in university orchestras which have a need for certain instruments. So many, in fact, they have to hold what's called 'auditions.' Maybe you've heard of it.[/quote]And you can bet the 'athletic endeavor' had better be of the Julliard caliber. Nobody is recruiting a mediocre athlete.[/quote] Study after study shows that children who play a musical instrument are smarter, get better grades and score higher on exams like the SAT. Current scientific research shows that playing certain sports (like football) makes children less intelligent, more impulsive and much more likely to be violent due to concussion risks. So there is that too.[/quote]
