EARLY CHILDHOOD MUSIC
www.earlychildhoodmusic.net
We have a life-changing program that works! Music research shows that children who are involved in preschool piano lessons with singing have greater brain function that lasts their entire lifetime.

And that is just the beginning. Music lessons also help develop the characteristics that you want developed in your child. Characteristics like social skills and perseverance. One of the greatest benefits is academic enhancement, especially in the three areas that contribute to healthy lifestyles: reading, math and science. Reasoning skills, being able to think through a problem and solve it, engineering skills and even college entrance exam scores are affected by preschool piano lessons. Visit our site for more info…

PRENATAL MUSIC

As soon as your baby has ears to hear, around 16 weeks gestation, Surrounding sounds, songs, voices and your heartbeat begin to stimulate neural connections in your baby’s prenatal brain. That enhancement lasts for the rest of your child’s life. Visit our site for more info…

There’s more! By forming prenatal memories, music also provides comfort and reassurance as your baby faces the most stressful time of a human being’s life–the birthing process and the first few days of their life. Visit our site for more info…
