The Benefits of Music Lessons
Early musical training helps develop brain areas involved in language and reasoning. There is also an underlying link between music and spatial intelligence (the ability to perceive the world accurately and to form mental pictures of things). This kind of intelligence is critical to the thinking necessary for everything from solving advanced mathematics problems to being able to pack a book-bag with everything that will be needed for the day. Music Lessons, such as the ones given by Mintons outstanding and experienced teachers; can also help students to learn & think creatively, as well as enhancing teamwork skills and discipline. Recent studies show that students who study the arts are more successful on standardized tests such as the SAT. They also achieve higher grades in high school. So let your kids play the instrument of their choice.
