Early Music Classes Help Your Child Read

There is a direct correlation between music and literacy according to current research in early childhood development. Children that participate in music classes at an early age have a higher level of phonetic/phonemic awareness leading to becoming better readers.

According to Science Daily, March 2009: "Children exposed to a multi-year programme of music tuition involving training in increasingly complex rhythmic, tonal, and practical skills display superior cognitive performance in reading skills compared with their non-musically trained peers, according to a study published in the journal Psychology of Music."

In Little Notes classes we work on musical skills that will help your child do his or her best in school. In Little Notes classes we teach music as a language by reading and telling stories with music and movement, imitating rhythmic and tonal patterns, and developing the feeling of a steady beat. We do this and many more activities in a fun musical environment.

Give your child a head start by joining us for a few semesters of Little Notes classes.
