Teens enjoy sharing music –  it opens the doors for better cultural understanding and tolerance. Music instruction during youth is known to:

  • ~ Improve SAT score averages
  • ~ Boost creative skills valuable for work life success

Adults find playing an instrument – re-visiting the band instrument of their youth, or learning the instrument of their dreams – can be a great stress reliever.  Music lessons as an emotional outlet can reduce ‘job burnout’.

Seniors enjoy playing and sharing music with friends.  Music lessons can help avoid age-related memory loss, but can also help elders cope with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and other similar diseases.
