All parents want their best
for their children,
but your child's extra
curricular activities
are having a lasting impact
you're hoping for?
Maybe is time to consider music
for your child.
Music education during childhood
has been shown to have
a multitude of benefits,
it sharpens student's attentiveness,
abstract reasoning and creativity.
Children who are musically trained
have stronger every day
listening and memory skills.
In addition, music engages
both sides of the brain
and challenges children
to simultaneously concentrate
on multiple tasks.
Music and math are highly intertwined
by understanding bits, rythm and scales.
Even the youngest music makers
are learning how to divide,
create fractions and recognize patterns.
Music also helps children
develop coordination and motor skills,
as well as self disciplined
and self esteem.
Students who participate in music programs
consistently score higher
in mathematics and english
than their peers.
Students have also shown
that individuals
who took music lessons as children
often show stronger neural processing
of sound even after fifty years later.
Making the decision to enroll your child
in a music class is a no brainer.
Parents build your child's cognitive
and emotional development
and give them the gift of music.
