Music schools and teachers for children from all districts
Music — the universal language of intelligence
Research shows that children who study music have a higher verbal IQ, better mathematics and superior memory. A musician's brain is literally more developed.

How to choose the right instrument
Listen to the child — what instrument fascinates them? Try it out — go to a recital or children's concert and see what moves them. Physiological — small hands can't handle guitar at age 4. Choose age-appropriate instrument.
