CAN MUSIC BRING OUT THE PRODIGY IN YOUR CHILD?


What if there is a prodigy in every child?  There are many educators who believe this to be true.  Throughout the history of man, music has been accepted as one way that a prodigy can demonstrate their abilities.  Some educators now believe that  music training can develop the prodigy in your child.  One of the keys to being a prodigy is having the ability to fire neurons throughout the brain.  A true prodigy fires more neurons and uses every aspect of their bodies physiology to maximize their intelligence.  To put it into piano parlance: 
  • If only the right brain is being used, music becomes mere "picking" of keys which is the simplest form of music.
  • If only the left side of the brain is being used, music turns into mathematics.
  • If only the cerebellum is being used, music turns into gymnastics (physical activity).
  • Without the spinal cord there will be a lack of “power”, in expression.
  • Without a well-developed nervous system, we would not be able to co-ordinate and play fast pieces well.
By starting your child in musical classes at a young age you help fire neurons that may not otherwise be fired.  A progressive music program can bring a child's genius to the foreground and when compared to time spent in front of the television, is invaluable.

When the left brain and right brain is mentioned, it involves activating all the parts within each side, i.e. the front, middle, back, upper, lower, etc. groups of brain cells and parts of the cerebrum. Not only are all parts to be activated, it also encompasses forming a network of cells in the greatest possible combination. Einstein wasn't endowed with his intelligence at birth, it developed at later stages. This is a fact that has been proven through chemical research in brain science laboratories.
