Join the
MUSICAL FITNESS MOVEMENT !
On October 27th, 106 participants, 68 organizations, and four legislators gathered at our Music-Making Matters Summit to be inspired by Dr. Anita Collins, an expert on the music-brain-reading connection.
Musical Fitness/Reading Readiness
Legislators will be proposing a bill to establish a committee to create a MN Musical Fitness/Reading Readiness Program with the goal of all children musically fit and ready to read by kindergarten.
Singing and music skills are linked with reading.
Singing precedes talking.
