"I think it is very unlikely that I would have ever become president had I not been in school music from the time I was nine until the time I was 17. It taught me discipline and creativity. It made me see the world in different ways. It made me understand things in different ways."
- Bill Clinton
"I would teach children music, physics, and philosophy; but most importantly music, for in the patterns of music and all the arts are the keys of learning."
-- Plato
“If I were not a physicist, I would
probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in

Children are the center of MYC … their learning styles and needs are met
through a multi-sensory approach. The understanding of music will
expand into positive problem-solving skills, areas of self-expression,
the growth of memory skills and excellent self-confidence and
self-esteem. With these natural outcomes children can easily take on the
skills required to read other languages and master other tasks.
