Starting your child in a musical education provides a great foundation for your child in all aspects of life. In addition to music, students learn self-discipline, group cooperation, problem-solving, goal-setting, self-expression, memory skills, concentration, poise, enhanced physical coordination, high self-esteem, and the importance of team-work - skills in great demand in almost every aspect of life. Like all the arts, music has a profound effect on the academic success of students as well. 

Your decision to provide your child with a quality musical education is an investment in your child’s future. In making it possible for your child to play a musical instrument, you are providing the opportunity for self-expression, creativity and achievement. 

 A variety of research shows that music students are among the academically strongest in their school and score higher on the SAT than other students. Most colleges and universities now look for more than good grades on a child’s transcript - they want well-rounded students that have been able to accomplish more than textbook knowledge.
