The Music Advantage: How Music Helps Your Child Develop, Learn, and Thrive
Written by Dr. Anita Collins, this book uses neuroscience and the modern psychology to uncover how listening to and learning how to play music can grow and heal our brains…at any age.
The Musical Child
The Musical Child by Joan Koenig is a celebration of the profound role music plays in shaping young minds and hearts. It encourages parents and educators to view music as a vital part of a child’s upbringing, not only to nurture musical skills but also to support emotional well-being, cognitive growth, and joyful living.
At the heart of our teaching philosophy is the belief in a three-way collaboration between parent, teacher, and student…
Even if your child is naturally gifted in music.
Before we get into learning music or practicing technique, we want to make sure that your child can flourish within our group classes, enjoy creating music with peers, and feel supported in and out of the classroom.
We believe that creating an environment that nurtures your child’s overall development and challenges them beyond their comfort zone is the best way to build the tenacity needed in their adult years.
