Why Choose Us
Benefits of learning
Brain development
Playing an instrument can stimulate brain cells, which can improve memory and abstract reasoning skills. It can also help children hear and process sounds they couldn't hear before.
Motor skills
Playing a musical instrument can help children develop their gross and fine motor skills. For example, children learn that striking a drum forcefully makes a loud sound, while isolating each finger to press piano keys can create distinct tones.
People who are musically trained have better working memory skills. This can help them remember things even while their minds are busy with other matters.
Working memory
Other benefits
Learning to play a musical instrument can also teach children patience, responsibility, and self-esteem. It can also expose them to new cultures.
