WE NEED VIOLINS for Violin Exploration and Instruction !!! Together we worked it out! A major component of teaching to the Multiple Intelligences will be that students will receive violin instruction above and beyond standard music instruction. This will provide students with an additional opportunity to further explore the multiple intelligences enhanced by music instruction. Research indicates, music instruction at the elementary level increases academic achievement. For example, as reported in the May 1996 issue of Nature, first graders who participated in additional music classes saw reading skills and math proficiencies increase dramatically.
