Hello!
Music is a universal language. It cannot be learned “on its own” because there is no language, only sounds. But it is important to help children build a foundation in music so they can learn any other skill they want. They will be able to play their first instruments when they are young, so it’s not just about teaching them how to play their first instrument.
