The Great Pyramid at Giza is one of the world's most amazing landmarks. Rising high above the Sahara Desert in the Giza region of northern Egypt, the Great Pyramid stands some 450 feet into the burning desert sky and occupies an area of 13 acres. The rough climate of the Sahara has actually caused the pyramid to shrink 30 feet from its original height. The pyramid was such an amazing feat of engineering that it remained the tallest structure in the world for over 3800 years! Most Egyptologists, scientists who study ancient Egypt, agree that the Great Pyramid was built around 2560 BC, a little more than 4,500 years ago. It took tens of thousands of workers twenty years to build. The pyramid contains over two million stone blocks. Although most of the blocks weigh two or three tons, some weigh up to 80 tons!

Τα πλεονεκτήματα της ενασχόλησης με ένα μουσικό όργανο

Η εκμάθηση της μουσικής και ενός οργάνου, εκτός από τη συντροφιά που σας προσφέρει, ανοίγει πλήρως τους ορίζοντές σας. Συγκεκριμένα:

• Βελτιώνει τη διαχείριση του χρόνου σας και τις οργανωτικές ικανότητες. Ένας μουσικός ξέρει ότι η ποιότητα του χρόνου εξάσκησης είναι πιο πολύτιμη από την ποσότητα.

• Ενισχύει την αίσθηση ομαδικότητας. Εάν είστε μέλος ορχήστρας ή μπάντας μαθαίνετε να λειτουργείτε καλύτερα ομαδικά.

• Βελτιώνει τους ρυθμούς της ανάγνωσής σας και τις δεξιότητες κατανόησης. Σύμφωνα με έρευνες, τα παιδιά που κάνουν μουσική αναπτύσσουν όλο και πιο σύνθετες δεξιότητες και εμφανίζουν καλές γνωστικές επιδόσεις.

• Σας κάνει πιο υπεύθυνους. Κάθε όργανο χρειάζεται ξεχωριστή φροντίδα, καθώς γίνεται αργά ή γρήγορα κομμάτι του εαυτού σας και πρέπει να μάθετε να το φροντίζετε.

• Διδάσκει επιμονή. Για να μάθετε ένα όργανο, χρειάζεστε χρόνο και προσπάθεια.

• Βοηθά να εκφραστείτε. Η μουσική αποτελεί για όλους μια πηγή έκφρασης. Μπορείτε ανάλογα με τη διάθεσή σας να παίξετε και με τον ανάλογο τρόπο.

• Προωθεί την ευτυχία. Το να παίζετε ένα μουσικό όργανο μπορεί να είναι διασκεδαστικό και συναρπαστικό.
