Why attention is so important in lessons and sessions
In both music therapy and music education, attention is at the forefront.
No music therapy goals could be attained if attention isn’t held. Similarly in music education, no musical elements would be learned without attention as the foundation. However small these moments of focus may be, without them, no progress would be made.
“Without attention, it would not be possible to think, learn, remember, communicate, or problem solve.”
(Thaut & Hoemberg, 257).
