Why
should a parent consider music lessons for their child? Studies have proven time
and again that quality music instruction has a significant impact on
children’s memory and literacy levels; assists in developing motor coordination
and helps troubled children deal with negative emotions in a positive way. As
early as the 19th century, the visionary Dr. Maria Montessori included music and
arts into her worldwide school curricula to greatly enhance and accelerate
learning.
The
Nanaimo Conservatory of Music offers music lessons in more than a dozen
instruments as well as group classes like choir, musical theatre, various
ensembles and early childhood classes all of which contribute to developing
self-esteem; cooperation and creative thinking.
