Why Music:
Hundreds of research studies prove that the mental coordination and physical dexterity developed from learning to play a musical instrument increases a child’s cognitive skills, perception capabilities, and general aptitude levels… in other words, kids get smarter when they learn to play an instrument!
This is especially true when studying the kinds of instruments that require independent, unrelated actions to be controlled by opposite hands; such as piano, drums, violin, etc.
In addition the cognitive and develpmental benefits, playing an instrument opens a world of opportunity for socialization, long-lasting friendships, rewarding activities, and a lifetime of enjoyment. Giving your child the benefit of music lessons can give them a recognized boost in life regardless of what career path they may choose.
