MUSIC IS A LANGUAGE
and, like other lunutt, is easily learned dorinc childhood, bat more and more
difficult as we crow older. Nine out of ten children can become rood musicians
if they start soon enough; bat most people are hopeless nnlcse they form
musical habits before reaching the ace of 12. Nearly all of the great players
started at 5 or younger, and were concert soloists at 10.
Start your child in music as soon as it can carry a tune or finger
an instrument!
It won’t cost a cent to cot your child started and
past the critical stage of development. Ask for details.
