A big thank you to Highland Elementary School in New York, USA for sharing this image with us.

Music and sport don’t compete, they complement each other, building focus, coordination, teamwork, and confidence in different ways.

What would your school look like if it supported both?

“Music lessons can support a child's brain development by strengthening multiple skills at the same time. Learning an instrument engages attention, memory, listening, and motor coordination all at once, offering a different kind of cognitive challenge than traditional homework alone.
Research suggests that even about a year of music training can be associated with small but measurable improvements in general thinking skills, including focus, working memory, and problem-solving.
Repeated practice and pattern recognition help reinforce these abilities over time.

Music training also sharpens sound processing, timing, and hand-eye coordination, while encouraging discipline, patience, and confidence through gradual progress. While it doesn't replace academic learning, music can be a valuable complement that supports both cognitive and personal development.”- Anxiety Tips Library

Please consider giving the gift of music to a child who can’t afford it.

Musically trained children tend to acquire language quicker, learn how to read earlier and develop comprehension skills earlier. This is the very foundation of all learning at school: the ability to use language. Music educator Dr Anita Collins explains.
