"In the first years of life, the brain is undergoing rapid physical development.
Studies show participation in music can influence that process, with ramifications that last a lifetime."
~American Music Conference~
http://www.amc-music.com/musicmaking/thebrain.htm
In fact, actively working with musical sounds enhances neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to adapt and change.
"A musician's brain selectively enhances information-bearing elements in sound. In a beautiful interrelationship
between sensory and cognitive processes, the nervous system makes associations between complex sounds and
what they mean," Nina Kraus, lead author of the Nature paper and director of Northwestern's Auditory Neuroscience
Laboratory, explained in a statement to the media. "The efficient sound-to-meaning connections are
important not only for music but for other aspects of communication."
--Music benefits the brain....

Anytime is a great time for making music and having fun. as we move, sing, play rhythm instruments,
and use sign language in a fun, joyful setting. We offer research-based classes for children
(up to age 5) and their caregiver, by combining age-appropriate activities that develop
language and literacy with creative movement to teach concepts such as balance, coordination and rhythm.
Discover the magic of music with your child.
The longest running, continuous early childhood music and movement classes
in San Diego County: since 1984
A sequenced course of study for children aged birth through
elementary school, developing the inner musician in each child,
including rhythmic/movement and vocal instruction to develop the total child,
create a love and understanding of music and prepare for further musical studies
such as keyboard.
Teacher-owners: Also have over 24 years experience in
private piano instruction in addition to 27 years music and movement teaching
and numerous years as public school teachers
The most age-appropriate CREATIVE activities
The MOST FUN!
Both Sharon Mello and Marlys West have received Level III
Certification from the Early Childhood Music and Movement Association

Let's Make Music School offers music and movement classes for children up to age 5.
Why music for very young children?
Because as you and your child have fun learning new songs,
exploring instruments and participating in creative movement activities,
your child is developing language,
balance, coordination,
social and learning skills and much, much more.
Music and movement activities paired together,
as part of a research-based curriculum,
develop both sides of the brain,
help with reading and math skills, patterning and impulse control.
As our description suggests (music and movement) we expect that children will be active and curious.
Please join us for one or all of the fall sessions.
Each session uses new songs and activities.
"Music researchers are finding correlations between music making and some of the deepest workings
of the human brain.
Research has linked active music making with increased language discrimination
and development,
math ability, improved school grades, better-adjusted social behavior,
and improvements
in "spatial-temporal reasoning," - a cornerstone for problem solving."
