Piano
Lessons for Children:
Research has proven that children who study piano are better in math
and reading,
their even better in athletics because of eye- hand – feet coordination.
Here are soem other facts about musical children:
Music
Students Are Scoring.
Music students are outperforming non-music students on the Scholastic
Aptitude Test (SAT). College-bound seniors with coursework or experience
in music performance scored 52 points higher on the verbal portion and
37 points higher on the math portion of the SAT than students with no
coursework or experience in the arts.

Music
Is Beating Computers
at Enhancing Early Childhood Development. Music training, specifically
piano instruction, is far superior to computer instruction in dramatically
enhancing children's abstract reasoning skills necessary for learning
math and science. Learning music at an early age causes long-term enhancement
of spatial- temporal reasoning.

California, Irvine, 1997)
Music
Enhances Linguistic Skills.
Music -- specifically song -- is one of the best training grounds for
babies learning to recognize the tones that add up to spoken language.

Scientists,
Therapists Agree: Music Heals More Than Just The Spirit.
Music benefits older adults. Active music-making positively affects
the biology and behavior of Alzheimer's patients.

University of Miami)
The
Window Of Opportunity For Studying Music
is between the ages of three and ten. This is the time when we are the
most receptive to and able to process music. (Source: Newsweek, February
19, 1996)
Studying
Music Strengthens Students' Academic Performance.
Rhode Island studies have indicated that sequential, skill-building
instruction in art and music integrated with the rest of the curriculum
can greatly improve children's performance in readi ng and math.

Alan Fox, Faith Knowles, and Donna Jeffrey, Nature, May 23, 1996)
Music
and Spatial Task Performance: A Causal Relationship.
Music lessons, and even simply listening to music, can enhance spatial
reasoning performance, a critical higher-brain function necessary to
perform complex tasks including mathematics.

California, Irvine, 1994)
The
Mozart Effect
surfaced about four years ago when research uncovered that adults who
listened to music of complexity for ten minutes or so experienced temporary
increases in their spatial IQ scores.
(Source: Frances Rauscher, Ph.D.,Gordon Shaw, Ph.D., University of California,
Irvine,1993-1994)
Music
Teacher Expertise is a Critical Factor in Student Learning.
Research indicates that teachers of all subjects -- including music
-- who are more experienced and educated are more effective in the classroom.
Consequently, students learn more from them.

Matters, by Ronald Ferguson, 1991)
Lessons
for Adults:
How many adults have you heard say, "I've always wanted to play
the piano"? They outnumber by about four to one the people who
say, "My parents made me take lessons, but I never learned to play
well." Have you said one of these yourself?
Teaching
styles have changed in the past couple of decades, with development
of the ear receiving praise rather than condemnation, as it once did.
No more rulers are striking hands, and today's teachers recognize many
different learning styles, including the kinesthetic ones.
Midlife
is an excellent time for adults to pursue their musical dreams. Often
they are freer. Their children are grown up and independent. They have
more time - more money too! Adults are usually more relaxed, have more
confidence in themselves, and less fear of looking foolish - excellent
qualities to have when you decide to take up a musical instrument.
