You will walk in other shoes well – with increased emotional intelligence
The nuances of speech include the way something is said and the emotions underneath the words, not just the words themselves, which in turn is a key element of empathy and emotional intelligence.
Music is inherently emotional, and musical memories are among the most visceral and vivid. Consequently, musicians must learn how to connect with people on an emotional level. Whether harmonizing in a choir or performing in a string quartet or simply jamming with friends, music students of any age, even the very young, learn how to share attention, cooperate, and collaborate.
These are extremely valuable skills in both personal relationships and in the workplace.
Studies have even shown that collaborative musical activities can increase toddlers’ pro-social behaviours, making them more likely to help someone in need.
