DIRECTORS NOTE

Welcome to our Music Family,

Strom-Berg Productions was founded over twenty-five years ago. Throughout the years the programs and offerings have grown but the goal has stayed the same. Every class, lesson and workshop offered is designed to nurture a love of music and creative arts through participation and enjoyment, and to develop in each individual a artistic sensitivity and literacy.

"When creativity is alive and nurtured in any person; child or adult, they become an inventive, searching, daring, self-expressing creature. The world would stagnate without them, and the world would be beautiful with them; for they are interesting to themselves and interesting to others."

Robert Henri--The Art Spirit

Thank you for choosing Strom-Berg Productions to nurture the Art Spirit within you.

Art=Smart

Did you know that education

in music and the arts enhances

higher brain function? Research

shows that the younger the child

the better to introduce them to

music and the arts, while their

neural pathways are very flexible

and still developing. Creating,

moving, and listening to music

exercises these pathways and

makes them stronger. A good ear

in music creates a better speller

and listener. A good feel for

rhythm and melody increases math

skills and spatial reasoning. Arts

education expands childrens'

capacity to learn, to reason

and to create.

Most importantly, it does not have anything to do with talent and any child can benefit.
