WHY STUDY MUSIC?

MEET OUR INSTRUCTOR

A research team studying first graders from two Rhode Island elementary schools found that students who participated in an "enriched, sequential, skill building music program" dramatically increased their reading and math performance.

Musical activities provide children with important experiences that can help them develop physical coordination, timing, memory, visual, aural and language skills. When they work to increase their command of music and exercise musical skills in the company of others, they gain important experience with self paced learning, mental concentration and a heightened personal and social awareness. - Frank R. Wilson, M.D.; Associate Clinical Professor of Neurology - University of California School of Medicine in San Francisco; AMC 1998 Publication: “Music and Your Child.”

Students with coursework/experience in music performance scored 57 points higher on the verbal portion of the SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) and 41 points higher on the math portion of the SAT than students with no coursework or experience in the arts for a combined total of 98 points higher. - Profiles of SAT and Achievement Test Takers 2001, The College Board
