It's fun, creative and it's a proven way to develop areas of the brain for later academic tasks such as reading and math. Early musical experiences can dramatically enhance a child's ability to acquire language, vocabulary and sensory motor skills, spatial reasoning, logic and rhythm skills" Stilwell says.
