When To Start Your Young Children With Music Lessons
We often get the question ‘How young do you take students?’ At Niagara Conservatory we base that on the instrument and of course the child. Every child is different and they all learn, grow and develop at different rates.
Try Before You Buy
We are pleased to offer a 6 week introductory course for new students of all ages looking to kick off what will hopefully be a long musical journey. Instead of purchasing an instrument for yourself or child, unknowing what your long term intentions are, we will provide you with a keyboard, acoustic guitar, electric or bass guitar with amp, or violin. We will even come by your house and set up a full 5 piece drum kit for you to use for the six weeks at no additional charge.
Music's Effect on Learning
Music impacts us in powerful ways. It can evoke strong emotions, make us want to tap our fingers and feet, and even help with learning and memory. Music is not only a universal language but also a stimulant for various parts of the brain. It is a known fact that music can enhance productivity and also help to improve memory. Numerous studies have been conducted showing the benefits of music for learning. The How Music Affects Learning Infographic provides useful information on the positive benefits of music for the learning process.
