CHILDREN ’ S MUSIC ACADEMY ( CMA ), serving students aged 3-9 , is a parent-participation program providing a “ weekly musical date ” with your child . The curriculum is built on research that proves MUSIC MATTERS . Music affects virtually every aspect of development and when young children are consistently engaged by music during their “ musical window ” they benefit at many levels :
4 Music builds spatial-temporal reasoning skills critical for greater success in math and science studies .
4 Music students out-perform non-music students on achievement tests in reading and math .
4 Music students receive more academic honors and awards than non-music students .
4 Music develops social and emotional skills including the ability to relate to others , to express ideas , and to be less likely to have behavior / discipline problems .
The approach to teaching at CMA is fun , non-pressured and creative . The development period of a child ’ s musical ear is maximized , and the small group setting utilizes lively , interactive , and diverse experiences . The curriculum is holistic and multi-dimensional : CMA children learn keyboard , singing , theory , ear training , composition , ensemble playing , guitar and recorder . Best of all , they learn it along-side a parent / guardian , growing in their love of music and family time . Participation in the program is a win-win for parent and child !
