Piano and piano keyboard

This extracurricular activity highlights the importance of music in the overall  education our students.

We tend to pay a lot of attention to sports as a way of stimulating the physical development of students but we forget that music also has an important role to play in a child’s physical evolution.

The Piano, as an instrument, strengthens neural connections in the brain. It promotes concentration and attention and it strengthens memory. The Piano is also used as a means of relaxation, making it a good option for  students who tend to get nervous.

Intellectually, there seems to be a connection between playing the piano and getting better grades at school. This might be due to the fact that the piano stimulates learning and helps the child to develop certain skills such as mathematical calculations or verbal communication.
