Often a single experience will open the young soul to music for a whole lifetime…

The benefits of any musical education to childhood brain development are very well documented, stimulating both the right and left sides of the brain. Ongoing learning develops pathways and connections within the brain improving performance throughout schooling and on into later life.
From newborn upwards introducing music benefits all areas of development both physically and intellectually. There is also the sheer joy of listening, dancing and playing to music, progressing to playing individually or as part of a group. Giving your child the gift of being able to sit down with a sheet of music and slowly but surely decode it and figure out the tune – then play it back!

I would teach children music, physics, and philosophy; but most importantly music, for the patterns in music and all the arts are the keys to learning.

Education in music is most sovereign because more than anything else, rhythm and harmony find their way to the inmost soul and take strongest hold upon it.
