Want your child to be
a better communicator?
00:00:05.33\00:00:07.70
Better athlete?
Even get better grades?
00:00:07.74\00:00:10.97
Then the key
might be on your piano.
00:00:11.01\00:00:13.31
Research is clear, children who
play instruments at an early age
00:00:13.34\00:00:17.41
have an enlarged corpus
callosum, this is the connector
00:00:17.45\00:00:21.18
like an internet highway between
the left and right hemispheres
00:00:21.22\00:00:23.89
of the brain. In a simple
way, this means that the child's
00:00:23.92\00:00:27.92
accessing both sides of
the brain more freely and
00:00:27.96\00:00:30.59
more frequently
than the average person.
00:00:30.63\00:00:33.36
This allows for
greater communication skills,
00:00:33.40\00:00:36.50
motor skills, and a multitude
higher of brain function
00:00:36.53\00:00:38.77
because of the easy flow
of information between each
00:00:38.80\00:00:41.80
hemisphere of the brain.
00:00:41.84\00:00:43.57
Keep in mind, this is only when
children play an instrument.
00:00:43.61\00:00:46.61
The violinist show the
greatest use of the brain,
00:00:46.64\00:00:49.74
piano and guitar are runner ups.
00:00:49.78\00:00:52.15
So if you have a three
year to five-year-old that loves
00:00:52.18\00:00:54.88
listening to music now is
the time to put an instrument
00:00:54.92\00:00:57.49
in their hands. Trust me, the
first few months of screeching
00:00:57.52\00:01:01.19
on the violin will be worth it.
