Love this article. Music teaches children to develop resilience, persistence, discipline and self awareness. Though nothing beats the love ❤️ for music 🎶.

Learning music can increase children's capacity for persistence and resilience. Here's how to set them up for success when they start their musical journey.

A simple song for interesting times performed by Giuseppe Zangari.

*PRAYER OF ST FRANCIS*

Make me a channel of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me bring your love.
Where there is injury, your pardon, Lord,
And where there's doubt, true faith in you.

Make me a channel of your peace.
Where there's despair in life, let me bring hope.
Where there is darkness, only light,
And where there's sadness, ever joy.

Oh, Master, grant that I may never seek
So much to be consoled as to console.
To be understood as to understand.
To be loved as to love with all my soul.

Make me a channel of your peace.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
in giving of ourselves that we receive,
and in dying that we're born to eternal life.

Prayer of Saint Francis (Catholic Hymn)Text based on the prayer traditionally ascribed to St. Francis of Assisi, 1182-1226.Music by Sebastian Temple (1967), ...
