They have seen first-hand the exciting developments music can trigger. 

Why You Should Enroll Your Child in Music Education Classes

Brain Development

When playing an instrument or participating in general music lessons, your child will develop their memory skills, hand eye coordination, and sound discrimination. These experiences strengthen their minds and enhance their ability to perform better in school.

Better Test Scores

Both professional and non professional musicians can attest to the focus required to hone skills and perform with confidence. The ability to concentrate, listen carefully, establish as well as to maintain a regular practice schedule benefits kids in academic areas. As children encounter high-pressure situations and continue to focus on the same tasks for extended periods of time, they will find it easier to practice, study efficiently and effectively, which may lead to higher test scores. 

Higher IQ

To cite one of many studies like the one in 2004  published in the prominent magazine, Psychological Science, researchers at the University of Toronto found music education increased the IQ of a group of six-year old children by several points after they received weekly music lessons and classes for a full year targeting first and second graders. There are multiple studies that confirm these findings that attest to the benefits of music education.
