Also, we are the only School that the Pre-K students also perform during our School Recitals. Our school provides 2 Pre-K Music levels with additional learning as the students’ progresses:
Our preschool music program prepares students to go on into private instrument lessons for when they are older. Many studies have shown a direct correlation between exposure to music at this age and a facility of learning. A study conducted at the University of California: “Music Lessons appear to strengthen the links between brain neuron and build new neural bridges needed for good spatial reasoning, says psychologist Frances Rauscher. Her study compared 19 preschoolers who took lessons and 14 classmates not enrolled in music programs. After 18 months, she found a 46% boost in spatial IQs or the young musicians and only 6% improvement for children not taught music at that age.” USA TODAY.
