Music lessons and performance enhances literacy, learning and artistic expression. Reading music notation works similar parts of the brain as reading a book.

As I like to jokingly say, "music makes you wicked smart". Music is a physical activity. Vocalist, reed and horn players practice intense breathing exercises. Percussionists and pianist are moving all about. Hand eye movement is engaged, dexterity challenged, endurance built. Phew! Music fosters friendships and communities. Come join one of our kids, teen or adult group classes to witness folks coming together to enjoy something they truely love. It's fun. Period.
