It is supposed to be good for developing your brain, hand-eye coordination, etc.

Kids would be better off learning to read music than write cursive.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Any reason they can’t do both?

I learned to read music AND write cursive when I was in grade school. Both have paid me back in multiple benefits over the years.

One reason I’m forever grateful that I was able to homeschool our two boys, is that they learned EVERYTHING from 8:00 a.m. to Noon. And had the whole rest of their day to pursue whatever tickled their fancy.

Wrote beautifully. Sang or played piano. And were academically ready for high school by 6th grade.

You mean after they are taught to just plain read? If learning how to read music is taught in school, it will be just as hidden from them as reading is now.
