BENEFITS OF EARLY CHILDHOOD MUSIC

Music’s melodic and rhythmic patterns awaken and stimulate neural pathways in the brain that help develop memory, math skills, and powers of abstract and creative thinking.

  • Overall, music activities are ideal for your growing child.
  • Music immerses the child in language.
  • Evokes movement.
  • Stimulates the brain.
  • Fosters physical coordination.
  • Develops listening skills, the foremost necessity for learning.


All in a group setting that builds community
