Our students benefit in so many ways from learning to play the violin
A recent study found that even one year’s worth of musical training positively affects memory and attention span.
Experts agree that musical training improves: reading skills, language processing, speech, and a variety of brain functions.
The feedback we get from parents definitely backs this up!
Not only do parents say they see the improvements in their children academically but the benefits of playing the violin are also social. Children play their instruments with others and they even put on shows at home for friends and family which really boosts their confidence. We also find that our young students gain self-discipline from repeated practice.
Learning to play the violin can also build self-reliance, self-esteem and self-awareness – qualities which make our students well-liked and well-adjusted.
