Music and Learning




Peanut butter and jelly


Black and white




That's right, H and O...before Oates got dissed (was it the stache???)

If there were ever two words that went together- music and learning is right up there with the rest.

Music and learning are two things that I have always known goes together. I have taught music on and off for 22 years and was a student of music as well. While I cannot say taking all of those flute and piano lessons made me smarter, I don't know how dumb I would have been without them? Who is to say?

Studies show that taking lessons really true;y does make kids IQ jump a bit. Now I finally have real, evidence-based findings to coerce my 9-year old to those cello lessons. And if he doesn't like it, he can wear the dunce cap to school.
