Music study develops important life skills such as:

• active listening
• focus
• secure memorization
• artful performance
• long-term commitment
• imagination
• joyful creativity

The ability to appreciate beauty, a well developed aesthetic sense, sensitivity and kindness, the ability to find solace and inspiration in music, all are valuable components of a successful life. True peace and happiness is rooted more in one's character rather than in one's abilities. Musical training nourishes a lifelong enjoyment of the arts and the creative process.

"Teaching music is not my main purpose. I want to make good citizens, noble human beings. Music exists for the purpose of growing an admirable heart."

Dr. Shinichi Suzuki
