If you want to boost your child’s brain development, and increase their learning capacity, register them for music lessons. Scientific research has repeatedly shown that learning an instrument and making music improves childhood brain development, and increases spatial-temporal skills, verbal skills, and memory. The process required to learn a new instrument or to improve one you’ve been playing for a while requires persistence, commitment, self-discipline, and problem-solving– all important skills for education and life in general. Aside from the brain benefits, making music provides a creative outlet and is tons of fun!
Long & McQuade offers a wide range of instruments and rental gear so you can try it out before purchasing, and they have flexible schedules for every age and level of learner. Each music lesson is taught by inspiring professional musicians who are not only talented in their own right but are encouraging and patient with each student. Learning a new instrument can be tricky, but the instructors at Long & McQuade make each lesson accessible and fun. Lessons are offered in private one-on-one sessions; small group classes may also be available. Additionally, families can decide whether an online or in-person lesson works best for them and their schedules. With no registration fees and affordable rates, music education is inclusive and accessible to all children. Long & McQuade offers RCM exam preparation, student recitals, and group performance opportunities for students interested in sharing their learning.
At the flagship Vancouver location, students can choose from private lessons in one (or more!) of the following instruments: banjo, cello, clarinet, drums, euphonium, fiddle, flute, guitar, mandolin, piano, trombone, trumpet, tuba, ukulele, viola, or voice. For students looking to deepen their musical education, private lessons in composition, conducting, and theory are also available. Exciting and fun group lessons are available for children as young as 4 and up to adults to connect and learn together. Each location offers slightly different private and group lessons, so it’s best to check the location closest to you for full offerings!
