Ask the typical teenager what subject they dislike the most in school and about 80% of the time you will get “math” as the answer…this can be a troubling issue for parents – mainly because if you ask the typical parent what subject they disliked the most in school you will get “math” as the answer!!

So how can you help your child excel in a subject he or she dislikes or better yet – grow up not disliking it at all?!

The secret to most of this problem is to begin at an early age, raising a child who doesn’t dislike the subject at all!

“How would I do this?” You ask…and the answer is: by raising a child who is more prone to being sucessful at the subject.

“Well now HOW do you do THAT?!” You might say…and the answer to that is: by giving your child exposure to enjoyable things which will assist in cultivating stimulating activity in his or her brain which has been proven to help children learn and succeed in things as specific as – you guessed it – math!

Studies are finding that children who are raised with a solid appreciation of music and who have been exposed to music education at an early age, are more prone to succeding academically in subjects such as…MATH! Yes, a study done by a psychology professor at Harvard University found that children who attend music classes are better than children who attend little to no music classes, at tasks involving basic geometric skills!

Just one of many reasons to come in and try out one of Music Rhapsody’s free music classes! Not only are you and your little one having a great time – but who knows – you might just be helping to make them a better in several other areas of learning!

Music Nourishment for the Brain

Did you know that it has now been proven that students who participate in arts learning experiences – such as music education – improve their achievement in other realms of learning and life?!

Not only that – but children who have been exposed to early childhood music education classes have tested higher on the SAT than children who have had a less musically enriched upbringing!

Statistics like this continuously reinforce how important music education is in the upbringing of each and every child. I’ve seen the difference music makes in a life of a child and their family and knew the benefits for years – even before Music Rhapsody was a glimmer in my eye…but it’s a wonderful feeling to know that what I have always been so passionate about is recognized as such an important part of a well-rounded education.

It’s also why I’m eager to invite new families to try us out for free. Call Music Rhapsody and schedule your little one to try out one of our amazing music class. I promise you’ll have the best time and learn a lot too!
