WHY START EARLY?
Recent research confirms that children's early experiences,
especially in auditory areas such as language and music, can affect
them for the rest of their lives. A child who learns a second
language early will speak easily
and with the proper accent.
In much the same way, a child
who experiences, and then has
hands-on activities with melody,
rhythm, timbre, and all the
elements of music will be
comfortable with performing
and creating music as he or she matures. We would not expect a
child to wait to talk until he could read, nor should we want to
deprive students of a whole world of musical growth until they can
perceive note reading.
