Parents

FOR MY PARENTS


 * [[image:neuronal-music2.jpg width="527" height="360"]] || My number one concern is for my students' education. Yet, I know I am working with the parents to ensure their future. I have created this page to allow the parents/guardians to see what is music education, why it is important, and why their children should participate. I will post leading research on how music effects the brain and child development, college performance scholarship procedures and averages, social effects and norms of music and many other insights on what your child is listening to and how it is effecting them. ||

When researchers analyzed the NELS:88 database of the U.S. Department of Education, which tracked 25,000 students over a ten-year period, they discovered that students who were involved in music scored higher on standardized tests and reading tests than students not taking music courses. This finding was consistent for students of all socioeconomic backgrounds. //- Dr. James Catterall, UCLA, 199//7.
