Not only does this create special memories between child and grandparent but MUSIC offers incredible benefits to both seniors and children! Music can be used to improve health, enhance moods and increase memory.
These benefits are profound and plentiful. Seniors who listen to or engage in music have a happier outlook on life, less stress, more self-esteem and social interaction. Music has been shown to increase mobility, coordination and cognitive abilities. Music keeps seniors young and sharpJ Music can trigger memories in those with dementia and Alzheimer’s as music stimulates the prefrontal cortex of the brain. Studies have also found that music may help reverse early memory loss in adults at risk for Alzheimer's Disease.
So ask your child’s grandparent if they want to do something really special with your child once a week and bring your child to MYC. In MYC you get two for the price of one as there is no extra charge for grandpa/ grandma . Grandparent and child will learn together, laugh, create memories and enjoy a lot of benefits.
Contact your nearest MYC teacher www.myc.com and register your child in MYC today before our classes get filled up and they fill up very fast! Give grandpa or grandma the gift of not only spending quality time with their grandchild but also giving them many happy and healthy years ahead J
Spending time with family is the most important thing.
Musically,
