OUR PHILOSOPHY
Sunny Isles Beach's Newest Private Montessori Music Preschool Program and After School for Talented and Gifted Children.
Starting From Birth
Why do many people who played musical instruments as a child no longer play even once in adulthood?
Everything happens due to the fact that the parents themselves choose a musical instrument for the child’s play and do not take into account their intuitive and natural abilities. Our Magic Flute Montessori Private Music School is aimed specifically at disclosing the development and concept of personal inner skills, creative thinking abilities, and a child’s attitude. Before determining which instrument is suitable for student, he or she will learn musical alphabet and try to play basic fundamental music foundation on every musical instrument around the world under the guidance of competent music teachers with our Montessori Music Program. Neural Encoding of Music.
Aristotle, the famous Greek philosopher, scientist, and educator born in 384 B.C.E said, "...music makes the hearts of men glad: so that on this ground alone we may assume that the young ought to be trained in it." José Antonio Abreu, founder of an innovative music education program El Systema in Venezuela, often says, "A child who has a clarinet in his hand will not pick up a gun." Music education is a transformative experience which can alter many aspects of a student’s life: school, home, work, and community. Moreover, preliminary data from several studies indicate that children who are engaged in music, demonstrate positive outcomes associated with academics, career, and community. When music is infused into the curriculum, children tend to perform better academically on standardized tests in math and reading. One of the studies also indicated that children who participate in long-term, intensive music education programs tend to demonstrate skills critical to success in the workplace. For example, employers have noted that these children show persistence – the ability to stick with a task and not give up. They also tend to be creative risk-takers willing to be imaginative and venture outside the box. On top of that, students develop a sense of self-esteem and social skills. Our music lessons will not immunize your child from being nervous at an important future job or presentation, but the skills he or she acquired in working with nerves for their various music performances are transferable, like controlling breathing, framing the situation positively, and focusing on the job. In the era of Instagram and Facebook, we forgot how to communicate; our group music programs (ensemble, orchestra, choir, and jazz band) form the ability to open up to the world around and put aside an electronic device.
Philosophy
We believe that music education accelerates the development of the brain of the young children starting from birth, especially in the areas of the brain that are responsible for sound processing, speech perception, language development, mathematical skills, abstract thinking, and English Language Arts (ELA) skills. We believe that everyone has the right to study music, and it is never too late to start.
