Music can be explored and made in a variety of ways.

We can:
💃🏼 use movement to convey ideas
🎤 experiment with our voices
🎵 learn to read and express musical ideas

Learning music challenges the brain in various ways.

It requires:
🧠 mental focus
💪🏻 physical agility
💭 new ways of thinking

In exchange, students achieve:
🧠 improved memory and attention
💪🏻 enhanced fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination
💭 emotional regulation

👉 That's all to say, learning an instrument changes your brain for the better!

-------------------

I can't wait to share my love of music with you. I'm honored to be part of your musical journey.

See you in the classroom!
