At Green Tones we believe that every child is born with an innate musicality and through proper nurturing music will grow. Scientific studies show that music is not only fun but beneficial for critical cognitive development in children. Imagine a thick forest with no clear pathways through it – this is like the developing brain of a child. Now visualize the pathway being forged, neurologically, every time you musically interact with your child.
