Kumon is the world’s largest after-school math and reading academic enrichment program.

More than four million children in 47 countries are gaining confi dence and strong study habits through the Kumon Method of Learning. Kumon gives students of all ages and abili-ties the chance to build the skills nec-essary for a richer, more successful educational experience. We believe all children can maximize their poten-tial by practicing the Kumon Method of Learning.

Our personalized approach helps children learn math and reading concepts based on their ability rather than their age or grade. Since the curriculum is individualized for each child, it allows students to comprehend the new material fully before moving ahead. With our emphasis on self-learning, preschool through high school students become self-reliant and gain confi dence to learn new materials at their own pace.

Our enrichment program enables children to study high school-level material when they are ready, regardless of age, and prepares them to achieve success both inside and outside the classroom. In the United States, more than half of Kumon math students study material that is above their grade level, and 24 percent of those students are learning materials two to three years above their grade in school.

Students typically gain between 10 and 30 IQ points over the course of the 12-week program. Kid Potential Hawaii serves students from age 6 to adult. Among the benefi ts of the program are higher IQ, increased reading and spelling levels, less time spent on homework, higher self esteem and higher SAT and other test scores.

MUSIC EDUCATION CAN HELP WITH SCHOOL SKILLS

Music’s effi cacy as a teaching tool has long been studied. Though some still doubt if music has any effect

on student performance, a strong body of evidence suggests otherwise.

Studies into the effects of music on learning are nothing new. Such studies have been conducted for decades, gaining popularity during the 1950s when research was done on something called the “Mozart Effect.” The Mozart Effect theorizes that listening to Mozart can temporarily improve performance and may even boost a per-son’s IQ. In response, many parents started playing Mozart and other classical music in their homes. By the late 1990s, Baby Ein-stein, a company that offers a wide range of developmental and entertainment products for babies and toddlers, released a series of CDs and videos that prominently featured classical music amid visual learning se-quences for young children. “Baby Mozart,” “Baby Bach” and “Baby Beethoven” were just a few of the videos capitalizing on the evidence that children learn more when exposed to classical music.

Ongoing research continues to sup-port the theory that music education can help children on many levels. In Canada, a research group from McMaster University conducted their own study into music edu-cation. That study, which was published in the journal Brain in 2006, examined two groups of children, ages 4 to 6. Each were taught the same lessons, but one group was also given musical instruction. The study found that the group of children who received musical instruction scored much better than their peers in literacy, math-ematics, IQ, and memory skills.

Long Island University researchers Joseph Piro and Camilo Ortiz found that children exposed to a multi-year program of music instruction, involving training in increasingly complex rhythmic, tonal, and practical skills, displayed superior cognitive performance in reading skills compared to their peers who did not receive musi-

cal training. The authors concluded that, “because neural response to music is a widely distributed system within the brain, it would not be unreasonable to expect that some processing networks for music and language behaviors, namely reading, located in both hemispheres of the brain would overlap.”

Music education is not just for the aver-age student. Other research shows it may be benefi cial to children with dyslexia and other learning disabilities. A study com-pleted at Stanford University showed that

mastering a musical instrument improves the ability to process parts of the spoken language. The researchers believe that ad-ditional research might develop a way to use the knowledge obtained in the study to increase language development for individ-uals with dyslexia or cognitive disorders.

In many schools, music education isbeing drastically reduced or eliminated. Parents may want to look outside the classroom for music instruction or play more music at home.

Ongoing research continues to support the theory that music education can help children on many levels.
