Never stop learning

Build Self-Esteem

In addition to the morale that a student gains from working diligently at a skill and succeeding, the positive individual attention given in private and small-group lessons or masterclasses develops and encourages self-esteem and self-worth in the student. Music shows you or your child that you and they are worthy of personal attention and that others believe in your success, most of all your teacher!

Increase Brain Function

Several studies have shown that music instruction helps students develop advanced complex hand-eye, hand-to-hand and right-left brain coordination. This greatly increases a student’s ability to multi-task and complex brain activity, spatial cognition and fine motor skilled activities such as typing and writing. Many of the world’s greatest minds were honed by their classical music playing and education.

Studies have also shown that music instruction helps students develop practical science and mathematical skills such as counting, pattern recognition and recall, geometry, ratios and proportions, fractions, sequences, time keeping and pacing, acoustics, etc…

Build Character – Increase Intelligence

Many students who study classical music develop stronger moral character, are much more likely to score high in their classes and standardized tests, and much less likely to engage in substance abuse or criminal behavior.

Any student, regardless of age, who take private piano or voice lessons develop higher IQ scores than those who do not.

Improve Speaking and Communication

Singing has shown to cause significant improvement of the quality of the speaking voice including improving clarity, tone, diction, and expression. Singing students also work on improving their facial and body expression, eye contact and confidence, and become accustomed to singing in foreign languages.

Develop Presentation and Leadership Skills

Face-to-face performance training and experience gained from singing lessons teach all students strategies for preparing, conquering  fears and anxieties and confidently delivering presentations in front of strangers, peers and critics. Poise and confidence in front of others fosters leadership and social skills.

Develop Creativity and Artistic Awareness

The skill of “thinking outside the box” has been praised as an important characteristic of successful professionals in all areas. Singing lessons help children and adults develop and use their creativity and artistic skills in a structured, universally-appreciated way.

Singing and music in general is a legitimate and appreciated medium to keep the mind creative, and helps to retain an open, positive and joyful outlook on life.

Connect with Others Through Music

Music has often been called a “universal language” for it’s incredible ability to transcend language, cultural and time constraints to communicate thoughts, ideas, emotions and impressions. Vocal music in particular, is a gateway to an endless library of musical stories, portraits, essays, manifestos and poetry that has provided inspiration to our world’s greatest minds. Vocal music in particular touches the souls of all avid listeners and passes on a rich history of those that wrote, collected their observations and sentiments about the world and our heritage as it existed before us.

 Express Yourself Through Music

Learning to sing and participating in solo or ensemble-type productions of any kind open a gateway of profound emotional education and expression as a students learns to “give voice” to the emotions of the composers and their own. When the student of any age participates in the production of quality music and really understands and connects with it, the intellect and the emotion are profoundly stimulated and the student comes away from the experience with an enriched and more meaningful life.

Heal Yourself with Music

Studies have shown that Classical and modern art music helps heal in a number of ways including lowering blood pressure, soothing stress and chronic pain, and promoting healthy breathing.
