Why Learn Music at a Young Age?
Beginning music  lessons at an early age has been associated with higher academic performance and  greater creativity. The life lessons taught through music instruction, such as  personal discipline and responsibility, have been considered among the primary  reasons for this.
Science has shown  that people who study music at a young age (8 years or younger) develop a larger  corpus callosum.  The corpus callosum facilitates communication between the left  and right hemispheres of the brain.  This results in greater problem solving  skills and reasoning ability.
Through music  lessons, students gain a sense of accomplishment and develop a healthy sense of  self esteem.  This confidence has a positive effect on the child?s academic  performance and ability to interact socially.
The inclusion of  music as a part of a child?s life has a remarkable effect that goes beyond the  physical.  It can have a spiritual impact on the life of that child and the  people they touch. Creating beautiful music holds its greatest potential when  acquired young and nurtured through adolescence so that it can a source of joy  for a lifetime.
Why choose the Guitar?
The guitar,  although commonly overlooked as a classical instrument, has a rich history and  repertoire that is charming, beautiful, touching and many more wonderful things.  But unlike many orchestral instruments, the guitar is an efficient solo  instrument capable of playing both melody and accompaniment at the same time.  The guitar is also possibly the most versatile instrument on the planet. The  guitar is played in the art, folk music and popular music of most of the world.  From China to Brazil, the US to Africa, the guitar is found on every continent  and almost every country. Learning the guitar can open the door to enjoyment of  music alone and with others in almost every style of music.
