Music is a thinking activity of the highest level! When it is taught with passion and enthusiasm, it will spark a student towards high achievement for life! It has been calculated that a student reading a piece of music will make approximately 5,000 decisions per minute!


Each person learns differently. All of us have five senses. Some must learn through a combination of two or more senses.

We now know there are eight intelligences, not just one! Every one possesses all eight, to varying degrees. Susie’s brain works differently than Robert’s brain because their brains are wired differently. One intelligence is not “better” than another! It just means each child learns in its own way. An effective teacher must be able to recognize each student’s strongest intelligence (or combination thereof). Each lesson must be taught several different ways in order to reach all students, no matter how their brain works!
When we allowed music to be taken out of the school budget, we did a great disservice to our students, and to our communities. WHY?

Music brings order to children’s thoughts and behavior. They are less likely to “act out” when they have the discipline of music and the high self-perception it brings.
