MUSIC AND ART LESSONS FOR ALL AGES AND LEVELS
Why Learn Music?
There are so many wonderful reasons to learn music and art. Having the skill to perform a music instrument has been one of the most cherished accomplishments throughout history. Once you learn an instrument, that skill stays with you the rest of your life. There is nothing like the joy of performing music for your grandparents, parents, and other family and friends. Children that learn music at a very young age continue to participate in middle school orchestras and bands. As adults, most students choose to join bands and create music. For the select few that choose to pursue music as a career, it is exhilarating to be part of Symphony Orchestras, String Quartets and Bands and perform in front of large audiences in Opera Houses with rich musical history. In all cases, performing music in front of a live audience is an exhilarating experience.
In addition to the obvious benefits of playing a music instrument, there are a number of scientifically proven and surprising academic benefits to learning music. A considerable amount of research suggests that listening to music may improve cognitive skills. More recent studies show that the Mozart Effect, as it is known, has very little to do with listening to Mozart and more to do with listening to music that activates a certain portion of the brain. Classical music and minor tones for the right side, upbeat and major tones for the left side. Over the years, Dr. Robert Melillo has worked with a composer to develop a line of music that specifically addresses strengthening each hemisphere. Other studies have also shown that learning to play an instrument enhances a student's academic performance in math, language arts, foreign language and other academic areas. Even standardized test scores such as the SAT are higher among musicians.
Whatever the reason, playing an instrument can bring joy and fulfillment like no other activity. The most common remark from parents following a wonderful school concert is, “I wish my parents would have encouraged me to play an instrument and stick with it.”
