Your brain is a muscle. When you give it more challenging exercises, you're strengthening your brain's ability to learn and grow.
Now, let's add music to the mix! When you listen to music, multiple areas of your brain become engaged and active. But when you play an instrument, that activity becomes more like a full-body brain workout.
Children's Music Academy gives little brains the tools to grow big and strong!
Our comprehensive approach differs from the one-dimensional private piano lesson or single-instrument instruction. It is a multi-dimensional experience encompassing singing, harmony, rhythm, note reading, ear training, composition, ensemble playing, various music genres and styles, guitar, recorder, and different percussion instruments.
We are incredibly hands-on, and kids fully engage with music on all levels.
Our holistic approach goes beyond music education, making a profound impact on the child's overall development with these incredible benefits:
- Enhanced Cognitive Skills
- Language Development
- Improved Math Abilities
- Emotional Expression and Regulation
- Fine Motor Skills
- Boosted Self-Confidence
- Teamwork and Collaboration
- Creativity and Imagination
- Stress Reduction
- Lifelong Enjoyment
And Experts Agree!
"Researchers report the verbal intelligence of 4- to 6-year-olds rises after only one month of musical training." (Pacific Standard, 2017)
"Study links piano education with better word discrimination by kindergartners... Children who had piano lessons showed a significant advantage..." (MIT News, 2018)
"After one year, the musically trained children performed better in a memory test that is correlated with general intelligence skills such as literacy, verbal memory, visual-spatial processing, mathematics, and IO." (Dr. Laurel Trainor, Prof. of Psychology, Neuroscience, and Behaviour at McMasters University, 2006)
We maximize the Musical Window™ in brain development.
Isn't it amazing to watch how quickly a child can pick up a second language? This same kind of learning happens with kids and music.
There is a window between the ages of 4 and 8 when the potential to develop a musical ear reaches its pinnacle in young minds. The younger children are when they begin their musical involvement, the more musical they will become.
Our courses are for beginner musicians ages 4 through 2nd grade, and children are grouped according to their age. Our curriculum is designed to maximize this developmental period and cultivate the musical gift in every young child.
Seriously Fun!
But don't be fooled by all the scientific talk — we are music lessons for kids, after all!
Our unique group classes are designed to captivate a child's interest and imagination through fast-paced, engaging activities while incorporating games, stories, songs, dance, and ensemble playing.
Each class also involves a variety of musical instruments, including keyboard, recorder, glockenspiel, guitar, and various percussion instruments. We make learning music fun!
For added fun (and value!) — Mom or Dad (and we love Grandparents, too!) come to class with their child. Parent involvement encourages musical togetherness and play and is key to a child's musical growth.
As a parent, you get a two-for-one deal since you'll learn the same skills as your child! But even more important — the time you spend with your child at CMA is a unique bonding experience.
You get a weekly musical date with your child at Children's Music Academy! Nothing for you to plan — simply show up and discover the wonder of music together. You'll build memories that will, like music, last a lifetime!
