We hear people say it all the time – music learners look graceful. Where did this saying come from? Though there is no scientific research to support this statement, we can clearly notice the differences between behaviors, words, and actions between musicians and typical people.

So, how exactly does music help people practice elegance?

• When children listen to music…

Music taste and elegance are both nurtured from the inside out. As children listen to different music, they would gradually comprehend the differences between genres, feel various emotions and understand the stories behind different pieces. When music appreciation becomes a habit, children would also have the tendency to calm contemplate in face of difficulties.

• When children “look at” music…

When children notice the distinction between each genre but not able to tell their history, it shows children’s deficiency in knowledge. Therefore, in the other way round, when children thoroughly grasp music, it also means that children have rich knowledge in a particular niche. Being knowledgeable is vital to practice inner elegance, along with good behavior and manner.

• When children play music…

Playing music requires a high level of patience. Similarly, an elegant must stay gentle in defiance of hardships. Thus, constantly practicing music is indeed helping to develop salient criteria of elegance.

Music is a great treasure to us. It is always constructive and beneficial to learn music. Not only can it become a talent, but it can also add to individuality. Allowing your children to learn music from an early age can build a solid foundation of elegance, shielding them from assimilating when in contempt of philistine cultures as they grow up.
