MUSIC FOR YOUNG CHILDREN
MUSIC FOR YOUNG CHILDREN has provided enriching, empowering, enjoyable music-learning experiences since 1980. There are more than 900 teachers teaching over 24,000 students on 3 continents and now MYC is available in Haliburton! Small class sizes ensure low teacher-student ratios and encourage constructive social interaction among children. The child and the parent develop a firm, fundamental understanding of music. MYC's interactive system motivates and engages parents and children, nurturing family bonds and delivering valuable co-learning experiences. MYC is the only child-centered music-learning system that integrates keyboard, creative movement, rhythm, singing, ear training, sight reading, music theory and composition. There are several MYC programs geared for specific ages, beginning with infants. Children who complete the most advanced level of MYC training are well prepared for early intermediate piano studies, or the study of another instrument. Music programs like MYC have been proven to enhance children's social development and learning skills, improve memory and problem-solving, and bolster confidence and self-esteem.
