Values Of Music Education

By Anthony Nale
Improving Emotional Resilience
 Emotional resilience
• The ability to adapt to
stressful situations and
cope with life’s ups and
downs. Resilience does
not eliminate stress or
erase life’s difficulties,
but allows you to tackle
or accept problems, live
through adversity and
move on with life.
• Creative activities such as music making can
be very useful when learning to take new
risks, experimenting and trusting oneself as
well as sometimes allowing oneself to make
mistakes.
• People take the risk by trusting others when
they express their ideas, they trust themselves
when playing an instrument, singing and
showing their voice.
• In music making young people learn to be kind
to each other and themselves, they learn to
accept that mistakes happen and not
everything can be or should be perfect.
