Music is fundamental in helping kids with special needs utilize the right side of their brain for working memory and  anxiety reduction.

Learning challenges can affect a child emotionally, physically, behaviorally and/or cognitively. The good news is that music can help with most of them. It has been scientifically proven that learning to play an instrument helps children with ADHD or learning disabilities, increase their attention and unlock the ability to learn.

Music strengthens the weak areas of the brain of a child with learning disabilities. Music builds-up and strengthens the auditory, visual/spatial, and motor cortices of the brain. These are the areas related to speech and language, reading, focusing, attention, and concentration issues. Research has proven that when children with learning disabilities learn to play an instrument the attention, concentration, impulse control, self-esteem, motivation and memory improve. Children who have difficulty in focusing when there is background noise are particularly helped by music classes
