Meet Christy!

At Learning in Harmony, we believe in going beyond the words in the scientific studies and providing your child with a program designed and taught by a trained neuroscientist/musician.

 

Bubbly and full of life, Christy has a passion for the impact of music on young minds.  As a PhD candidate in Neuroscience, she is the neuroscientist/musician responsible for developing the Music for Young Minds curriculum.

​

The benefits of music for young minds have been known amongst musicians for centuries, but with modern technology, neuroscientists are now bringing the proof to the table.

Season Credit:
Life happens, we get that.  Simply request a season deferral up to one week before the season start date, and we will provide a credit to a future session. This credit must be redeemed within one of the two consecutive sessions that follow the unused season. All unused credits will expire if not redeemed within that time frame.  No credits are offered for individual classes.  

Early childhood music classes for children aged 2 to 5 can significantly enhance brain development, particularly in areas related to language, memory, and executive function. Studies have shown that musical training at this age strengthens neural connections in the auditory and motor regions of the brain, supporting skills such as attention and emotional regulation (Gerry et al., 2012; Hyde et al., 2009).

 

Participation in music-making also promotes neuroplasticity, helping young brains adapt and grow more efficiently. Research by Hannon and Trainor (2007) highlights that rhythm and pitch activities improve pattern recognition and pre-literacy skills, laying a foundation for academic success.
