Recently our university tutor Sabina Abbasova organized a musical instrument teaching club. Learning to play musical instruments first of all helps to develop emotional intelligence skills, work on hands, fingers and feet. This in turn improves young people's perception and analysis of what is happening to them, as well as their attention, memory and verbal abilities. In this circle, young students diligently learn to play our national songs on the musical instrument of piano, tune and sing their timbres of sound in vocal lessons.

The organized club serves to ensure that our young people spend their free time in a beneficial way, increasing their interest in the arts as well as developing their abilities.
