Importance of Music Education• Singing is one of the most natural forms of self-
expression and provides an ideal educational basis for learning both the intellectual and aesthetic aspects of music.
• The ultimate objective of the enrichment vocal program is to develop the singing voice and music literacy skills.
• The study of singing contributes to personal growth, social and cultural awareness, and the intellectual and emotional development of the individual.
