A QUICK NOTE ABOUT
MUSIC
MIGUEL DE CERVANTES famously wrote, “He who sings scares away his woes.” This is a sentiment to which we can all relate. Chasing the blues away with your favorite song playing in your car
stereo on the journey to work can melt away anxiety. A cool jazz tune playing during dinner can set the mood for a relaxing meal. Graduation ceremonies, weddings, funerals... music hits us deeply on our most vulnerable human levels. It speaks to us.
Music is a gift of the utmost importance that we need to pass along to our children. Recently, the Isner kids, Mykah, Zavary, Kambria and Levi got dressed up and picked up their instruments to showcase their talents. The scene was so beautiful we photographed it to share with our readers.
This family has made a commitment to ensure their children have the gift of music to help foster creativity and academia. Their mother and father Greg and Kami tirelessly take them to weekly rehearsals at The Pittsburgh Music Academy in Carnegie to sharpen their skills. Kami, knowing the importance of a musical influence in her children’s lives encourages the children to practice daily. It can be difficult work, but the rewards are infinite. Language development, increased brain activity, higher test scores and increased spatial awareness are just a short list of the benefits that musical children enjoy. Not to mention, the beauty of a child being able to create art from thin air, what could be more encouraging to a young person?
Passively listening to music is something we all do throughout daily life, but there is something magical about creating music that not everyone gets the chance to experience. We implore you to dig into the wealth of resources the
Pittsburgh community has at its disposal to share with your children and yourselves the joy of creating music.
