However many benefits there are to experiencing music, let's not forget the most important one of all: joy and delight!  Dr. Eric Rasmussen (chair of the Early Childhood Music Department at the Peabody Preparatory of The Johns Hopkins University) says it best: 

​

"Music is for music’s sake.  It gives you a better understanding of yourself. The horizons are higher when you are involved in music."
