If so, then you have seen the <strong>immediate connection children\u00a0make to music<\/strong>. Regardless of whether they can play properly or not, they will spend a lot of time with their new\u00a0musical gift.\u00a0Children have a natural attraction to music and they pick it up much faster than adults. Children as young as three years old will develop strong musical abilities if they are given the opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>Today, you can give the Gift of Music to a child you love\u00a0for Christmas. Beginning in January, the<strong> Children&#8217;s Music Academy of Springfield<\/strong> will be starting classes for 4 &#8211;\u00a06 year old children in the Springfield, Missouri Area.<\/p>\n<p>Our <strong>fun, non-pressure, creative music lessons<\/strong> will help to open up the creativity that is waiting to blossom in your child! They will learn so much and will have a lot of fun doing it! Our inclusive lessons also allow the parents (or guardians) to participate as well. The simple step of including adults causes the success rates of our system to far out-perform any other music lesson system.\u00a0The weekly &#8220;musical date&#8221; will provide a unique bonding experience as you learn music right along with your child.<\/p>\n<p>Every class follows the same schedule as\u00a0the Springfield Public School System, so we do not interfere with vacations or school breaks. Call us today at 417.425.4618 to learn more! Space is limited so please act now!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Christmas is a very special time of the year.
