All children deserve a good education—that’s something we can all agree on. But there’s an important part of a well-rounded education missing in many students’ curricula: music. Music, like a... rt and P.E., is often first on the chopping block when it comes to shaving down school budgets. Music is seen as an extra-curricular activity, a hobby, and even a passion—but not as an important part of the academic experience. California Music Studios is here to change that. Music lessons for kids, whether via school or private music lessons, are astoundingly beneficial to cognitive development and health. Kids who study music or play an instrument aren’t just skilled musically—they score better on tests, develop communication and analytical skills, build healthy self-esteem, recognize the importance of community and cultural understanding, manage stress better—and that’s just to name a few! Please enjoy our infographic below to find out why enrolling your kids in music lessons could be the best thing you do for their education, future, and well-rounded growth.
