MUSIC & MOVEMENT
EARLY CHILDHOOD
VOICE
In the course of learning to play or sing, students learn to apply standards, develop discipline, think creatively and solve problems independently.
Music provides an incomparable means of self expression: mastering technical and performance challenges builds confidence and self-esteem.
Music study creates skills and experiences that nourish all aspects of a person (intellectual, social, spiritual, physical) throughout the entire lifespan.
Piano and voice are the most immediately gratifying instruments to study, and among the easiest to share!
“Casals says music fills him with the wonder of life and the ‘incredible marvel’ of being a human. Ives says it expands his mind and challenges him to be a true individual. Bernstein says it is enriching and ennobling. To me, that sounds like a good cause for making music and the arts an integral part of every child’s education”
U.S. Secretary of Education Richard W. Riley, July 1999.
The Power of a Music Education
Recent studies indicate that musical training physically develops brain areas involved in language, reasoning and spatial intelligence. Music students do better in math and score higher on SATs.
