Article: Harvard-based researchers find a link between early musical training and cognitive capacities that allow for planned, controlled behavior.
fMRI technology is starting to show data where researchers have only been able to draw correlations for some time. Children that are not only exposed to music, but actively create and study music, have increased brain activity in areas that control executive function, verbal fluency and mental processing speed.

Connecting Families through the Magic of Music
Summer classes have begun at Grow and Sing Studios!
Today was the first day of Summer Kindermusik classes after a wonderful week of camp last week!
First, we want to share our favorite picture from drop off Kindermusik camp last week! We had so much fun making music, art, playing on the playground, eating snack, acting out dramatic stories and SO much more! What a great group of kids!
Now we are officially kicking off our 10th year of connections at Grow and Sing!
We can’t believe it, but we are already BIGGER this Summer than we were at the END of last summer. Folks typically contact us weekly to inquire about our program, schedule a free preview class, and perhaps sign up for remaining classes. So, with us already serving more families at the start than we did last year, only means it’s bound to be even MORE connections made by the end. VERY exciting!
We kicked off our first day by holding classes at Oviedo Mall. We love our Oviedo Mall Mondays! Tons of fun was had!
Onward to the rest of our week where we’ll hold classes at UCF area, Winter Park, Downtown Orlando, Winter Garden, Dr. Phillips, Hunter’s Creek, Lake Nona, Deland and Port Orange! We can’t wait!
Would you like to attend a free preview class? Just contact us!

Spring into Kindermusik – themes and enrollment information!
Look what’s coming in January!
| Kindermusik Village for Babies Newborns up to 18 months Babies under 5 months are free! Click here for info. |
 |
| Weeks 1 – 8: Cock-a-doodle-Moo! – Hop on the hayride-it’s time to head for the farm!Weeks 9 – 15: DewDrops – In this class, parents and babies will play and move together to songs about flowers.You’ll also hear traditional Irish music, dance a jig and move to the “Irish Trot.” |
| Kindermusik Our Time for Toddlers 18 months – 3 1/2 years old |
 |
| Hop on the train, get in the car, board the plane, and Away We Go! This class focuses on transportation, a favorite topic for toddlers who are on the go, go, go! Sing and play along with favorite songs, such as “I’ve Been Workin’ on the Railroad” and “Wheels on the Bus”. to name a few! |
| Kindermusik Imagine That for Preschoolers 3 – 5 years old
|
 |
| Think of it like taking a course inside a child’s imagination. We’ll use the theme of a toy shop to make our pretend-creations, using rhythm and songs with every imaginary saw, hammer, and nail. The result is building the preschooler’s sense of a sequence of events, which is good for storytelling, as well as making his ideas a reality. |
| Kindermusik for the Young Child – Semester 1 5 – 7 years old
|
 |
| Using a small-group approach to music education, Kindermusik for the Young Child provides a pressure-free class where your child can develop a strong musical foundation by learning the concepts, language, notation, and vocabulary of music and its greatest composers. Everything your child learns later in semesters 2, 3, and 4 begins with this early introduction to singing, reading, and writing music and rhythm. Through dances and games that focus on rhythmic development, we’ll learn a keyboard instrument-the glockenspiel! |
| Kindermusik Family Time for families, siblings and multi-ages Babies through 7 years old
|
 |
|
Session A (1st 5 weeks) – Animals-a-dancing
Session B (2nd 5 weeks) – Family and Friends Session C (3rd 5 weeks) – How do you feel? Dancing, hopping, rolling, and stomping. In session A, we’ll move like all of our animal friends and develop muscle coordination and spatial awareness along the way.

Happy Holidays from Grow and Sing Studios Kindermusik and Piano Lessons
Happy Holidays from the Team at Grow and Sing Studios!
Thank you for making music with us this year at Kindermusik, Piano Lessons, Parties, Playdates and Music for Aardvarks.
Here’s to a great 2014!
Giving Tuesday… Kindermusik scholarship available at Grow and Sing Studios
Hello Friends,
To us, every day should be a “giving” day, and we strive for that throughout the year. However, we think it’s wonderful that today, the day after Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday that we focus on how we can help others. So, we wanted to let you know what Grow and Sing Studios is doing to contribute.
TOYS FOR TOTS
In November, we started our Toys for Tots campaign. This is our final week to collect toys, and we can proudly say that we have already OVERFILLED our box! We are SO excited to turn in our full box of toys to the Marines this weekend.
KINDERMUSIK SCHOLARSHIPS
Each semester, we make available a certain number of Kindermusik scholarships for families in need. We want everyone who WANTS to benefit from the Kindermusik experience to attend, and we do our best to make this a reality. Grow and Sing Studios offers a number of scholarships per year to Arnold Palmer Hospital’s Pediatric Cardiac patients, as well as Pediatric Cancer Patients. We know medical bills are high, and we are thrilled we can bring some joy during a tough time. These scholarships cover tuition and materials so that families can just come and enjoy the experience. Most recently, we have made available scholarships to Autism Speaks and are excited to meet the families these scholarships have been awarded to.
GIVING TUESDAY SCHOLARSHIP OFFER
We would like to offer a scholarship today to a family who perhaps can’t attend right now for financial reasons, or due to medical costs are not able to attend. We want this family who is awarded this scholarship to be available to attend on a weekly basis and this offer is through May 2014. If you or a friend would like to apply to receive this gift, please CLICK HERE to fill out our easy application. At this time, we can only award one scholarship, but this may change in the near future, so we’ll keep all applications in our file and contact you if you are awarded! Applications need to be in by Friday, December 6th at 5pm. All applications will be reviewed and considered and the recipient will be notified soon. We will not announce recipient publicly. This information stays confidential. Thank you.
Have a wonderful Giving Tuesday and Happy Holidays!
