Back-to-school season is here…are you in search of an after-school activity? Something that will be fun, engaging, rewarding, and beneficial all in one…well, we have your answer and why!

Music Lessons work as the perfect after-school activity

Private lessons have shown to strengthen academic success, boost confidence and emotional growth, teach discipline, and build skills such as social, motor, language, critical thinking, and memory. And with all those benefits...they are fun and rewarding!

Your child will cultivate a creative outlet — leading to both musical and non-musical benefits

Finding a creative outlet is useful both emotionally and academically. Those who engage in a creative activity such as music have reported to experience an increase of positive emotion. Especially during the stresses of the school year, this outlet becomes much more important, serving as a way to improve well-being, reduce stress, decrease anxiety, and more.

As for academics, researchers have found connections between music lessons and school success within test scores, GPA, reading comprehension, and math skills. Lessons have even been proven to enhance a child’s IQ.

Music has been proven time and time again to play a beneficial role in a child’s development. Private lessons are the perfect introduction to growing your child’s lifetime love for learning and music.
