Music lessons in childhood actually enlarge the brain an area used to analyze the pitch of a musical note is enlarged 25% in musicians compared to people who have never played an instrument. The earlier the musicians were when they started musical training, the bigger this area of the brain appears to be (University of Munster, 1998). “Musically trained kids do better in school, with stronger reading skills, increased math abilities, and higher general intelligence scores. Music even seems to improve social development, as people believe music helps them be better team players and have higher self-esteem.” (Citation: Skoe, E. & Kraus, N. (2012). A Little Goes a Long Way: How the Adult Brain Is Shaped by Musical Training in Childhood, Journal of Neuroscience, 32 (34) 11510.) The National Mathematics Advisory Panel (2008) noted that “completing algebra II coursework during high school correlates positively with college graduation and employment income. “Based on what we already know about the ways that music helps shape the brain, the study suggests that short-term music lessons may enhance lifelong listening and learning,” said Kraus. “Our research captures a much larger section of the population with implications for educational policy makers and the development of auditory training programs that can generate long-lasting positive outcomes.” The camp will provide private music lessons, music classes, art classes, Musical Theater classes, and Dance Classes for children from Kindergarten to twelth grade involving parent volunteers, licensed teachers, and individual instruction.
