                    a priority for yourself, your child, and for humanity. According to a study by College Board in 2010, students
                    who took music lessons for four years or more scored an average of 100 points higher on the SATs than
students who did not play a musical instrument. In addition, studying music improves recall and retention of verbal information,
advances math achievement, and boosts reading and language arts skills. According to research by Mitchell Gaynor M.D. (Sounds

complications, lowered blood pressure, and increased immune responses. So, what are you waiting for? Call 440.338.3171 for music

acting, dance and voice while participating in the musical production of The Wizard of Oz.
