Making Music and Friends
Providing high-quality music and arts education for all children
Welcome to Gifted Youth, USA
We unlock talent and potential in the community and bring the culture of art and music to neighborhoods, erasing social differences and creating meaningful connections for life.
Some people think music education is a privilege, but I think it's essential to being human.
Why music education is important for your child
Better test scores
According to Nature Neuroscience, students participating in music education programs score higher on standardized tests than students who do not.
Higher graduation rates
Children's Music Workshop found that schools with music programs had a 90.2% graduation rate, while schools without music education programs had an average rate of 72.9%.
Fewer discipline issues
A study from the Northeast Iowa School of Music found that children involved with music programs show fewer discipline issues and get along better with their classmates.
Greater cognitive benefits
Children who participate in music education programs receive numerous cognitive benefits, including greater abstract reasoning, better listening skills, and improved memory.
Improved ability to accept constructive criticism
In 2014, The Wall Street Journal published a study showing that music education programs "offer a space where kids learn how to accept and give constructive criticism." The Neighborhood Music School in New Haven, Conn. found that "turning negative feedback into positive change helps build self-confidence."
