Music Education Matters.

For years scientists and neurologists have been studying what learning music does to the human brain. Studies show music education to be one of the few activities that stimulates every hemisphere of the brain at once. Making, playing and training in music has a big impact on our brains capacity to learn. Not only does it help young people think creatively but engagng in music, teaches a multitude of skills that help in human development.

That's just downright good for everybody!
