A Workout For Your Brain with Music Education

What is Victoria Opera House response to COVID-19?

In a society focused on the latest technology, dance crazes, and what is trending on social media, it is easy to understand why so many believe the art of classical music is, in many ways, irrelevant. However, with more music being produced in today’s era than ever before, and with many artists drawing inspiration from classical pieces, this old art form is far from dead. Over the centuries, classical music has transformed itself to become a building block, setting the framework for musicians of all types today. Many studies have even shown that learning or listening to classical music can have a wide variety of benefits.

If you have children in your life, then you have surely heard the cries of “I am bored!” echoing throughout your halls at one point or another. We are quite sure this has been truer than ever over the last year. We know that it is important to provide your kiddos with entertainment experiences that will nurture their growth and development. With these goals in mind, our amazing staff of arts educators and enthusiasts have developed multiple stages to keep kids of all ages healthy and entertained through enriching experiences in music and dance. Let’s take a look. Music education has been proven through multiple studies to help children develop critical thinking skills, the ability to work as a team, and to increase their performance in school and on exams. What parent or caregiver wouldn’t want these types of advantages for the children in their care? The music education programs we offer even include a snack time component at the end of each class where those attending are provided with a healthy snack and nutrition discussion. Why do we spend this nutrition time with our kids when it would be easier to send them out the door with a bag of chips? It is simple. We know that a growing mind cannot develop properly without the healthiest body possible, and the nutrition habits that youth develop during their childhood will carry with them throughout their lives. We want to be your partner in full-body wellness for your children. Your children will have a blast with our music educators. Music classes work out the brain and stimulate creativity and higher-order thinking skills. They also help to reduce anxiety and increase feelings of happiness. Our music education classes include vocal and instrumental experiences along with music history classes. These classes can be taken virtually, or we can even come to you. Your child can work on learning to play an instrument or sing out with joy in multiple languages when they engage with one of our professional instrumental or vocal teachers. The great thing about acquiring these musical skills is that they can be enjoyed well past childhood. There are numerous community choirs and instrumental groups where singing and/or playing an instrument can continue to be practiced throughout our lives. If your child enjoys learning about history or cultures from around the globe, we offer amazing and engaging musical history classes. These classes are another fantastic opportunity to learn from our industry professionals while creating lasting friendships with their classmates. If your kiddo is more of a mover and a shaker, we have dance classes for that! Our dance experiences are taught by professional dancers, often from Broadway, and will introduce your child to the various styles of dance that exist from ballet to ballroom. Dance is a super fun way to get your groove on and encourage your child to be physically active and fit. We invite you to check out the great selection of music and dance education opportunities at Victoria Opera House to engage your child and keep them healthy in body and mind. Don't worry, just because this Blog was about your children doesn't mean you can't take a dance class, sing or learn an instrument from a professional musician; we actually encourage it. Not only can you share the moment with your children, but it's a wonderful opportunity to learn a new skill or just enjoying 'you' time. Make the holidays more enjoyable for your loved ones by giving the gift of your music.
