If you have kids, you will want to read this.

"There is no longer any doubt that there is a significant link between early music instruction and cognitive growth in certain other, “non musical” abilities, such as math, memory, and spatial-temporal reasoning..." - Kindermusik

Having gone to college for music education this subject is very important to me. I am really excited to tell everyone that my sister-in-law Jodee is starting up summer music camps for children. Jodee has several years of experience working with children and teaching music. It will be a great opportunity for your children to learn to love music from a young age and have a fun and educational atmosphere to interact with other children. If I had any children they would definitely be in her classes! I highly recommend looking into these summer camps. Check out her blog for more information http://www.bradenandjodee.blogspot.com/.

What are the benefits of Music?

"Early music experiences can have a significant impact on literacy and reading. According to experts..." - Kindermusik

"Music is a window to higher brain function" - Music Teachers Blog


"Children who are exposed to music before the age of seven years old are ten times as likely to succeed in the workplace and achieve up to 200 points higher than normal students on their SAT scores..." - Wikipedia

"Research demonstrates that involvement in music and movement activities from an early age helps children develop good social and emotional skills. Research also links social and emotional development with school-readiness and even with higher academic testing scores. It's no surprise. After all, the same skills that foster emotional security and social success - skills like confidence, curiosity, cooperation, self-regulation, and good listening - predict cognitive achievement and academic success as well." - Kindermusik
