Can you IMPROVE your child's intelligence?

Students who were exposed to the music-based lessons scored a full
100 percent higher on fractions tests than those who learned in the
conventional manner. Second-grade and third-grade students were taught
fractions in an untraditional manner < by teaching them basic music
rhythm notation. The group was taught about the relationships between
eighth, quarter, half and whole notes. Their peers received
traditional fraction instruction.

Music majors are the most likely group of college grads to be
admitted to medical school. Physician and biologist Lewis Thomas
studied the undergraduate majors of medical school applicants. He
found that 66 percent of music majors who applied to med school were
admitted, the highest percentage of any group. For comparison, (44
percent) of biochemistry majors were admitted. Also, a study of 7,500
university students revealed that music majors scored the highest
reading scores among all majors including English, biology, chemistry
and math.

Ever since my child has been playing the piano, I've noticed a significant difference in his schoolwork and how he interacts with people. I recommend his piano teacher. He is based in the city but may travel. Email me if anyone wants his number [email protected]
or go to your local yellow pages. A good piano teacher is important so it's good to shop around.

I've played the piano since I was 7 years old. I plan on teaching little Jared some when he gets older.

Jacob will definately be learning how to play the piano by his daddy... He is classicaly (I think that is how it is spelled) trained and has been playing since an early age and we have a grand piano in our living room waiting for him to use... ( Daddy plays for him everyday and he loves the music).
