00:05 Want your child to be a better communicator?
00:07 Better athlete? Even get better grades? 00:11 Then the key might be on your piano. 00:13 Research is clear, children who play instruments at an early age 00:17 have an enlarged corpus callosum, this is the connector 00:21 like an internet highway between the left and right hemispheres 00:23 of the brain. In a simple way, this means that the child's 00:27 accessing both sides of the brain more freely and 00:30 more frequently than the average person. 00:33 This allows for greater communication skills, 00:36 motor skills, and a multitude higher of brain function 00:38 because of the easy flow of information between each 00:41 hemisphere of the brain. 00:43 Keep in mind, this is only when children play an instrument. 00:46 The violinist show the greatest use of the brain, 00:49 piano and guitar are runner ups. 00:52 So if you have a three year to five-year-old that loves 00:54 listening to music now is the time to put an instrument 00:57 in their hands. Trust me, the first few months of screeching 01:01 on the violin will be worth it. |
