When you’re in the lab this week, stop by and enter our contest. We haven’t done this before, and we’d like everyone to try it. A lab attendant will help you input your entry if you need anything.
Mark your calendars, because August 28 and 29 we will have an outdoor recital! It’s probably going to be hot, but it’ll be great to see everyone. I can’t tell you how excited I am for this. If we haven’t met you yet, this is a great opportunity. If we have, we’re going to see each other again! Get ready, because we’re going to do this and it’s going to be great.
Young students: We have a few options for students to choose from — new coloring pages for the month that all have a music theme or try out songwriting skills in a new website designed specifically for interested younger kids. As always the lab attendants are available to help or elaborate on the assignments.
Composition Station: Jazz theme for June! Listen to a few jazz songs and try writing one yourself. We have a couple techniques to make the music for ‘jazzy’ and as always lab attendants are happy to assist! There are even a few advanced challenges for students who are more advanced in music theory.
Music History: June is Jazz for history, too. We wanted to tie this together with the composition station so our students could learn more and appreciate the music they’re also trying to write. Listen to popular Jazz music through the ages and read about some famous musicians. If it’s interesting to students they can feel free to try writing Jazz in the composition station! As always lab attendants are will be available and excited for any questions or new tasks.
Have a wonderful Memorial day and we hope the rest of your week is musical!
Music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Some of my earliest memories involve my mother singing the lullabies (in both German and English) that she now sings to my niece. I took both flute and clarinet lessons in elementary school before switching to chorus and amateurvoice lessons and about a year of guitar in junior high and high school.
Why am I telling you all this? Because now, as an adult, I believe two things. One: the scattered music lessons I had over the years helped me both in school and socially. Two: I wish I had stuck with one of the types of lessons.
According to a study by the American Psychological Association, if a child takes six years of music lessons their IQ will raise an average of 7.5 points. College students with those six years had a predicted two point raise over their peers. That’s pretty good. And that’s only academics.
Socially, by putting your children in music lessons; you’re teaching patience, dedication, teamwork, and responsibility. In addition, it can teach time management. All of these skills can help your child socially.
So does music help your child educationally and socially? The APA says yes. Schools seem to think they should pull music programs first. Personally I play instrumental music in my classroom when my students are doing independent work (over their protests). In the long run, it depends on whether or not you think music is beneficial to your child.

Music history for May is all about the Beach Boys. Listen to their music and find out about the original group members. As always, we base the information in categories by the student’s age so we don’t overload the youngsters and we give the older kids more to chew on.
The lab composition station for May is to try out Mariachi music. Mariachi music should be very upbeat, and exciting. Common instruments include acoustic guitar, violin and trumpet.
One of the best things about our themes is they change every month to allow all of us to experience new things. Enjoy our tribute to Cinco de Mayo with the Mariachi music and find some old favorites with the Beach Boys. Happy May!
“I’m always fascinated to learn of famous people who were told they didn’t measure up, or they couldn’t do something….I am partial, always, to the underdog, and always root for the person who always tries their best and defies what someone else might say about their abilities. When teaching children , I always try to give them a firm foundation of confidence to pursue their dreams, no matter what that may look like. Someone may tell a child that they do not like their [the student’s] voice or their instrument but what matters is that they like it…that they love it no matter what anyone else thinks or says. To help someone see that they have “wings to fly” so-to-speak, is the greatest gift you can give someone who is studying music, or theater, or something in the arts. (Really any pursuit) Helping someone realize their potential is phenomenal. This article lists 10 famous people who were told they couldn’t. They defied what they were told and went on to fulfill their dreams.” – Ms. Leann
