UNLEASHING GIFTS IN OUR WORLD CLASS PROGRAM By Mackenzie Carnes ’21 Research has shown that singing or playing instruments helps children to learn on a deeper level, setting and achieving more complex goals. It is also proven that music lessons for children help to develop a child’s cognitive skills – broadening their imagination, creativity, and even helping them to manage their behavior. And if that wasn’t enough, singing and playing instruments are physical activities which require the development of key muscles, including the core. In 2016, the University of Southern California’s Brain and Creativity Institute completed research regarding music and child development. Their data showed music could speed up brain development in fundamental language development, reading skills, and successful communication. At CHCA, we are proud to be one of the only schools in Cincinnati to offer a robust private music lesson program from PK3 through Grade 12. Not only does CHCA offer countless opportunities to challenge students towards personal growth and musical excellence, our school employs 13 highly accomplished and talented private music lesson instructors. Lessons are open to students with any skill level and experience and with dedicated lesson space and/or practice rooms at each campus, students have the flexibility to schedule lessons before, during, or after school. 14 The program offers many opportunities for performances including the Private Music Lesson Program Spring Recitals and CHCA's Annual ArtBeat Fine Arts Festival. Under the leadership of Dr. Lydia Woodin, director of the Private Music Lesson Program, the program strives to provide informed musical learning, while challenging students towards personal growth. Last year the Private Music Lesson Program launched its Honors Program, where 64 students completed at least “100 Days of Practice”, performed in Studio Classes, and memorized pieces to complete one of several levels. The highest level had three students completing 250 “Days of Practice” within the school year!
