COGNITIVE BENEFITS

Academic Success

Elementary school students in music education programs improved 20% in standardized tests of English and math. Students who participated in nine hours of music involvement a week were four times more likely than their peers to win recognition for their academic achievement.

Working Memory

Individuals who are musically trained show better working memory abilities than those who are not. Working memory allows us to remember things and is crucial to mental arithmetic and reading comprehension.

Scientists found a marked difference in communication between the right and left sides of the brain, which foster creativity, in individuals with musical training than in those without.

Creativity
Speech and Reading

Young children taking music lessons showed dramatic improvement in their verbal intelligence after only four weeks of music training.

Jane Arrowsmith

We are very thankful to Jane for all her support and dedication, the results of her lessons surpassed all our expectations! We faced the situation when we had to find a new teacher for our son in the middle of level 10. We were lost . There are not many teachers who can prepare a student for a higher level exam and especially those who will take the responsibility of taking a new student of advanced level and lead the way through to the final exam. She has taken my son in the middle of level 10, sorted out and worked hard on all the techniques he needed to acquire and all goals he needed to achieve and successfully took him through to level 10 repertoire exam where he acquired 81%! The exam was an online exam and all the lessons were done online which made more sense. I was a little worried at the beginning but then I saw it didn’t make any difference versus in person lessons and it was much more convenient. My son was always amazed and puzzled how Jane can hear even the smallest slips and see things that in person would  go unnoticed. Our experience of learning with Jane’s online lessons was very positive and brought much better results than the previous in person lessons we had with another teacher. I highly recommend Jane to anyone, she is great at music and has amazing teaching skills, she is professional, compassionate and sincere. She will help your child become successful and instill a passion for music for many years to come. Thank you very much Jane! ~ Kristina Prasad
