Many of us have heard about the idea that music training or learning an instrument, can improve the academic performance of kids. But how is this so? Not sure if I can speak intelligently to this, but I just found a website that has the mother load of information supporting this undeniable link between the brain and music. http://www.amc-music.com/musicmaking/thebrain.htm
A ton of research proves that music does in fact make you more intelligent and improve brain functioning. Ok, so now what. Sign my kids up for piano lessons? I remember those from grade school and what I remember most was the feeling of dread and unhappiness while sitting at the piano. Then there was the extra bonus of required “practice time”, ho hum. This is not a realistic venture for my two boys. Why can’t someone invent a video game that teaches you how to play the piano while you are playing?
Guess what, someone did! Enter Piano Wizard…
This is a fun alternative to traditional piano lessons! Seriously, this is a much more valuable investment for my kids. This is a totally expandable system that comes with a money back guarantee. Check it out at the Piano Wizard website and watch the video on this page to learn more.
