Love this, and we see it every day: music really does help kids develop better brains, confidence and connect with something magical that doesn't involve a screen!
Experts widely recognize music as one of the most powerful skills children can learn, with profound effects on brain development, focus, confidence, and long-term success. According to GreatSchools org, playing an instrument engages the same brain regions involved in language, memory, and critical thinking. Music training strengthens neural pathways, improves auditory processing, and enhances verbal memory, skills that directly support academic achievement.
Stanford researchers even found that mastering an instrument improves how the brain processes spoken language, making music especially beneficial for children struggling with reading or communication.
Music also boosts emotional and social development. As noted by Psychology Today, learning music activates the brain’s dopamine reward system, which increases motivation, mood, and perseverance. Children who experience progress in music often develop a stronger sense of self-worth and confidence, which carries over into other areas of life.
Furthermore, Lonestar Neurology highlights that music stimulates multiple brain regions simultaneously, promoting better problem-solving, pattern recognition, and hand-eye coordination. These cognitive benefits are long-lasting and contribute to overall mental agility and resilience.

Last night, history was made with our very first originals band program mini festival – BigStock – and the energy was unreal!
Every single band that took the stage was made up of musicians all under 18, yet the level of talent, skill, and stage presence was something you’d expect from seasoned pros. From the opening chord to the final cheer, the performances were nothing short of electrifying.
The diversity, originality, and sheer craft these young artists have poured into their music came alive under the lights, and the crowd felt every beat. If anyone still thinks rock ’n’ roll is dead, BigStock proved them spectacularly wrong – the next generation of songwriters is fearless, inventive, and absolutely thriving.
Songwriting is the heartbeat of music’s creative soul, and these young bands have it in droves. We couldn’t be prouder of what they delivered last night, and judging by the buzz in the room, this is only the beginning. The next BigStock is already on the horizon… so watch this space!
