Baby Fingers Offers Quality Music Programs

New York, NY, October 23, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Lora Heller, music therapist, teacher of the deaf, and founding director of Baby Fingers LLC, has expanded her mommy and me sign language program to incorporate quality music education and music therapy. Children with special needs and those who are “typically developing” can now benefit from music therapy, classes, and lessons. In addition to Music for Babies classes, children can take part in individual or small group music to develop language and social skills, or take lessons on a variety of instruments. Baby Fingers now offers lessons in Guitar, Banjo, Piano, Flute, and Drums for students of all ages and ability levels. Children are naturally receptive to the nuances of pitch and rhythm...training in music can help to develop spatial reasoning skills and communication, leading to improved performance in school. Listening skills and concentration improve with aural training. The old-fashioned goals of sharing and cooperation are reinforced with the sharing of instruments and encouragement of other students. Overall, music has a positive impact on brain development. Now Baby Fingers provides not only sign language instruction, but exposure to and experience with music as well.
