All of our teaching staff is well qualified and formally trained. Most have or currently perform live in musical endeavors of their own. Background checks and personal interviews are conducted with each new teacher to ensure that our clients can feel comfortable about inviting us into their homes.
Learning a new instrument not only enhances your life, but it actually enhances your intelligence.
The following excerpt was taken from an article by Dr. Arthur Harvey entitled “An Intelligence View of Music Education”
“A significant number of neurologists are studying the relationship between music and brain development. One such study published in Science in 1995 reported that musicians who learned to play string or keyboard instruments before adolescence appear to have larger areas of the brain devoted to touch perception of the fingers. In the journal Neuropsychologia it was reported that musicians who started keyboard training before the age of seven had 12% thicker nerve fibers in the corpus callosum, that part of the brain that carries signals between the two hemispheres.”
Sharon Begley’s article, “Your Child’s Brain…” in Newsweek reported that researchers at the University of Konstanz in Germany had evidence that exposure to music rewires neural circuits….
“…Gardner says, is that music helps some people organize the way they think and work by helping them develop in other areas, such as math, language, and spatial reasoning.”
And another quote to think upon by Zoltán Kodály: “Music is the manifestation of the human spirit, similar to language. Its greatest practitioners have conveyed to mankind things not possible to say in any other language. If we do not want these things to remain dead treasures, we must do our utmost to make the greatest possible number of people understand their idiom.”
