Why take a Music & Media?
Most of us are already aware of the advantages of music in our lives and education. The integration of music in the learning process is immense and beneficial for students. Music & Media education leaves a positive impact on the child's academic performance, helps them develop social skills and offers an opportunity for creativity essential to the child's development.
Several studies have demonstrated that music has an important influence on humans' cognitive and psychophysical development, particularly in children.
Children exposed to music, have a profound impact on their cerebral cortex region, creating neural pathways in the brain, allowing them to understand the world and language quickly and easily.
Undoubtedly, music is an essential subject that should wholly be included in the curriculum. It leads to more significant brain development, increases human connection, improves notes, helps socialize, and even lowers stress levels. However, music is less available in many school systems and is shelved to make room for other subjects.
What if your school does not offer Music & Media?
If you are a parent, encourage your child to learn at home. Register for remote learning, or take an in-person course in one of our operators. Find all the information about or Music & Media courses here and choose your preferred learning delivery method. If you are an educator, does your school offer Music & Media? If it does not, you can help bring Music & Media to your school, or expand the offerings. Become a partner or check out our learning centres and how to become one.
