My training with Trinity in music allows me to bring rhythm, notation and harmony to my students. I play the piano to facilitate an exploration of music in which all my students can participate. With this, I give my students the opportunity to enjoy making music as much as I do, and to reap the benefits of increased academic performance, aural and memory skills and self-confidence.
Benefits for Kids
“Music training direct children’s attention to sounds, and teaches them to make sound-meaning connections, eventually leading to heightened biological processing of sound that is associated with superior academic performance.” – Professor Nina Kraus
Studies show that music can have positive biological effects on a child’s brain, including improvement on their speech, a boost in self-confidence and an eagerness to learn. Thus, it can be a way to improve academic performance and promote social and holistic development for the children.
