The day before yesterday my daughter had her first violin recital. Before the musicians began to play, the teacher said a few words. Here is my best recollection of her introduction. It went something like this...
"As parents, we stimulate our children's brains through academics and school. We develop their bodies through sports and athletic activities. And we nourish their souls with music."
She went on to say a few more words, but I thought that statement was so true and so eloquent, that it brought a lump to my throat. Without realizing it, the violin teacher summed up why we named our business Hearts and Minds Music. Because we instinctly felt (and we've since found research that has proven this) that music helps children's brains develop AND it touches those "invisible" parts - the heart, the soul. And if your soul is not nourished, can the other parts develop as well?
