DID YOU KNOW?

For the past fifty years, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has been tracking how much Americans spend on their children, and the numbers are staggering. From birth to eighteen, the U.S.D.A. estimates that, for a child born in 2009, an “average family” will spend $241,452 raising that child!

No one can argue that the investment in your children represents a considerable sum that you would be wise to watch and protect. You want to plan for success and to protect your greatest assets. And that’s what MUSIC does.

For young people, music:

· keeps kids away from drugs and alcohol

· keeps kids from being bullied

· keeps kids in a safe space

· helps kids find academic success

But more than that, music also means:

· more laughter

· more friends

· more memories

· more meaningful experiences

· more influential adults in their lives

In short, music represents your best hopes for your child!

Getting older means worrying about the future — especially your biggest investments. Since your child is in music, that investment is only going to grow!

Have a great end to this crazy school year, and let us know if we can help in any way.
