According to The College Board (1997): Music students are outperforming non-music students on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). College-bound seniors with coursework or experience in music performance scored 52 points higher in the verbal portion and 37 points higher on the math portion of the SAT than students with no coursework or experience in the arts.
These are some pretty impressive figures from the College Board! What better way to give your child a jump-start on their academic careers than by being involved in music! Keep encouraging their practice at home, especially now during the 'January Slump' as I like to refer to it. The months of January and February can be taxing as we try to keep the momentum going that we had as we were preparing for our Holiday Concert - but don't give up, it will be well worth it!! Until next week.....
