Students who receive weekly music instruction, particularly singing lessons, can develop higher spatial and cognitive IQs, generally score better on standardized tests and can demonstrate more creativity in problem solving and other non-academic endeavors. While there is an increasing amount of research into music and the brain, historically, exposure to musical culture connects us to ourselves, our communities and our environments.

Secular mindfulness was pioneered by Jon Kabat-Zinn who began using contemplative practices to treat patients with chronic pain at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center in the early 1970s. Today, with so many advances in neurobiological research, we are beginning to see measurable effects of mindfulness practices on attention, memory, concentration, emotional regulation and stress reduction. Currently, even the youngest students contend with active schedules and demanding academic loads. Mindfulness training gives children the ability to decode their feelings, manage their stress and build skills to improve attention and focus.
