May's Questions and Answers
1. Can learning a musical instrument improve grades at school?
Studies have linked active music making with better language and math ability, improved school grades, better-adjusted social behavior, and improvements in "spatial-temporal reasoning". -American Music Conference, 2001.
A Standford University Admissions Officer said: "The offerings in music history, music theory, and arts history seem to me a rich and enviable component for a secondary school."
2. Does taking piano lessons help with SAT scores?
There is a direct correlation between improved SAT scores and the length of time spent studying the arts. College-bound seniors who'd had music experience scored 52 points higher on the verbal portion of their SATs and 37 points higher in math (89 points combined) than those without arts instruction. - Profiles of SAT and Achievement Test Takers, The College Board, 1998.

"Music lessons should be about the student. Each student learns in different ways, and at different speeds. Music is a journey, and on that journey, we will work and learn together." - Catherine
