Why are music lessons so valuable?
By the age of 10, tones and sounds are firmly imprinted in a child’s hearing.
Music lessons not only increase memory and concentration, but also promote logical thinking, language skills and motivation. Studies show that musical education has positive effects on subjects such as mathematics and foreign languages. Making music trains both hemispheres of the brain and thus supports school learning.
