Music Matters

Shy children may feel comfortable expressing themselves through music.

Reading and playing music activates all regions of the brain.

Studying music encourages self-discipline and diligence. These are traits that lead to effective study and work

habits.

Studies show that learning music early significantly improves spatial-temporal scores that are useful for math

and science!

John Jackson has been playing guitar for 40 years, touring with Bob Dylan, Tom Jones, Lucinda Williams and

Shelby Lynne, to name a few. **Since John is a professional musician, he may miss a few lessons due to travel.

If so, those days will be made up before Christmas break.

eye coordination and create a desire to live a healthy life, while learning and enjoying a sport that lasts a lifetime! No prior
