Fun fact.Research has shown that blood flows more easily when music is played. It can also reduce heart rate, lower blood pressure, decrease cortisol (stress hormone) levels and increase serotonin and endorphin levels in the blood.It elevates mood. Music can boost the brain’s production of the hormone dopamine which helps relieve feelings of anxiety and depression.

Music is an area of special interest for many people with autism, and music therapy is a popular intervention for children and adults with autism. Strangely though, very few music instructors have any training or experience in working with people on the autism spectrum. As a result, while children with autism are encouraged to interact with music, it can be difficult to find an instructor willing and able to actually teach them to play or sing. It can be even harder to find an instructor for a teen or adult with autism.
The benefits of musical instruction are, of course, many. Not only does musical instruction build cognitive and physical abilities but it’s also a wonderful source of personal pleasure. Add to that the fact that singing or playing in a musical ensemble can build social and communication skills, self-confidence, friendships, and the respect of self and others, and it’s clear that musical instruction may be well worth pursuing.For the month of September i would like to start or spark a conversation on how as a music tutor/educator I can be of help to you and your loved.

Lets talk about benefits of teaching your kids nursery Rhymes during this period we are in.There are a lot of benefits of teaching our child or baby nursery rhymes from a young age;one being their cognitive development.The repetition found in the rhymes are good for your little one’s brain and teaches them how language works while also building on their memory capabilities.In addition,nursery rhymes also help to develop inferencing skills-both when encountering new words and in reading comprehension later in life.Nursery rhymes are also important to your little one’s speech development.They can help young children develop auditory skills such as being able to tell the difference between sounds and develop the ear for the music of words.Rhymes help children to articulate words,practice pitch,volume and enunciate early by saying then over and over again.

It is the height of professionalism to be able to make an ordinary piece of music sound good. When playing routine melodic studies the player must treat them as if they are musical value - Howard Snell

There is a direct parallel in the way that we speak,with natural variations of pitch and volume that give full meaning to our words. This is what is missing in the words on the page of a book and the notes on the score -Howard Snell.
