A Note from Mr. Dobrosky
Our experience at NHME shows that our students typically
play ahead of the curve. Our advanced
group is beginning to play on an early college level. We are committed to teaching the foundations
of music theory, solfčge, counting, and
reading, while we pursue musical excellence at all levels. After the third year of rigorous, focussed,
and dedicated study, many of our parents comment on the increased ability of
their students to concentrate, think abstractly, and solve problems. We believe that music instruction is a core
subject!!

“Studies
find link between music instruction and academic achievement as measured by
standardized tests.”
In a
2000 University of Sarasota Study, Jeffrey Lynn Kluball explored the
relationship of
instrumental
music instruction and academic achievement for the senior class in Lee County
High
School, Leesburg, Georgia.
Significant
correlations were found between the number of years of band instruction and
academic
achievement as measured by the Georgia High School Graduation Test (GHSGT)
Mathematics
and GHSGT Science tests.
An East
Texas State University study by Daryl Erick Trent revealed that high school
seniors
who
participated in instrumental music in grades 6-12 score significantly higher in
language arts
and
math on standardized tests than do students involved in non-music
extra-curricular activities
or with
students not involved in any school related extra-curricular activity.
