Helping Children Thrive During a Pandemic: Fostering the Power of Music to Enrich Young Minds in Difficult Times

Helping Children Thrive During a Pandemic: 

“Love Nurtured Music” Fosters the Power of Music to Enrich Young Minds in Difficult Times 

As Parents Seek New Ways to Enhance Their Children’s Education Impacted by Coronavirus, Studies Show Music’s Positive Benefits on Intellectual, Cultural, and Character Development. 

September 2, 2020 — Amid the barrage of news coverage coronavirus’ impact has had on Americans’ daily lives, what’s often missing in the headlines is its emotional and psychological effect on our nation’s children as they navigate a new school year, wrought with profound changes. 

In a Gallup1 poll conducted in June, nearly three in 10 parents surveyed said their child is “already experiencing harm” to their emotional or mental health because of social distancing and closures. 

As counties and districts shift from traditional classes in school buildings to virtual or hybrid learning models, it’s become critical for parents to consider their child’s needs for structure and social contact to combat feelings of confusion and isolation.

A wealth of scientific research over the course of the past decade is proving that music education is a powerful tool for harnessing children’s full intellectual, social, and creative potential. Love Nurtured Music, Dallas’ premier violin studio, is committed to providing world-class, expert music instruction to children (as young as three years-old), giving them the tools and resources to express themselves, unleash their creativity, and be inspired by their own boundless capacity for personal growth.

Embracing the internationally-acclaimed Suzuki Method, Love Nurtured Music empowers children not only to develop into professional musicians, but build their character through parental engagement, positive reinforcement, and the emotional healing power of music. 

Tap into Your Child’s Limitless Potential at an Early Age 

Over 50 years ago, Japanese violinist Shinichi Suzuki harnessed the basic principles young children acquire to speak their native language and applied it to the study of music, calling it the “mother-tongue approach.” 

The Suzuki Method is based on a fundamental belief that, when properly trained, all children can develop musical ability, much in the same way they learn to speak their first language.

Using a groundbreaking “triangle model” blending the instructional training of the teacher along with the guidance and assistance of the parent at-home, a strong and lasting foundation is built for the child to become responsible, cooperative, and disciplined not because they are told, but because it is an organic part of their daily life. 

As a member of the Suzuki Method Association of the Americas, what separates Love Nurtured Music from other music education programs is an inclusive curriculum incorporating teacher instruction, parent involvement, learning with peers, and encouragement that are the keys to unlocking the unlimited potential of every child. 

A Safe and Welcoming Space Dedicated to Enriching Young Minds 

Following CDC guidelines and recommendations requiring face masks, limiting class sizes, and practicing social distancing, Love Nurtured Music is committed to keeping children safe, while allowing them the space they crave during a time that has disrupted their sense of routine and normalcy. 

From increased emotional resilience and self-confidence, to improved attention span, focus and more, the benefits of music education are numerous. 

And, with over 25 years of experience, led by renown violinist Rigo Murillo, Love Nurtured Music’s proven success and exceptional quality of instruction makes it more than just another after-school activity, but an investment for parents that will deliver lifelong and far-reaching benefits for their children’s futures. 

Because, as the Ancient Greek philosopher Plato once said, “Music is a more potent instrument than any other for a child’s education.”

There is nothing impossible for the ones who are willing to pay the price of excellence.
A year ago, I thought what I did yesterday would be impossible for me to do. But after a lot of training and discipline, I was able to accomplish my goal. I have learned that there is nothing impossible for the ones who are willing to pay the price of excellence.

Perfect practice makes perfect!

After many days of training, I made my best efforts and finish running a half marathon.

  • The encouragement you give your child when he/she is having a hard time with playing music 
  • The love and appreciation you have for music that your child models 
  • The perseverance and patience you have exhibited when your child doesn’t seem to make progress (but he/she is) 
  • The financial commitment and sacrifice it means to pay for your child’s music education 
  • The support you give me when I challenge your child or ask for something that is hard to do 
  • Your understanding when I have a difficult time teaching your child

The “Mother’s Song” Method

by

Happy Mother's Day!

My singer mother, Silvia.

Much has been taken by numerous music education scholars from Shinichi Suzuki’s approach to music learning. The Suzuki Method is based on the notion that all children learn to speak their mother tongue easily without having to formally study the language. He began to apply the basic principles of language acquisition to the learning of music, and called his method the mother-tongue approach. The ideas of parent responsibility, loving encouragement, constant repetition, etc., are some of the special features of the Suzuki approach.

As listening plays the most important role in the acquisition of basic musical knowledge, the kind of sounds the child listens to when he/she is growing up will determine the nature and quality of the sounds produced by the child’s voice or instrument. In the same manner we as children speak our parents’ language and accent, we as musicians mimic the musical sounds that we hear as models.

Violinist Rigo Murillo

My mother used to post this picture in the front of the hall where I played my recitals.

I am pr ivileged to have a mother who not only is a nurturing, loving, and encouraging person; but who also is a wonderful singer. Though she never walked the venue of being a professional singer, she possesses a wonderful lyric voice that touches the heart. Her vibrant singing voice exposes a perfect pitch center and a well-controlled and expressive vibrato.

I remember many times hearing her sing, enjoying her voice’s beauty and expressiveness. I always wanted to somehow imitate those melodic lines emanating from her musically well-rounded voice.

As a child, I always liked music and played recorder, harmonica, and guitar. I remember very vividly when I first hear my first violin teacher play at a school event. I thought, “That’s it! I want to play violin!” That day, I found the answer to my desire to imitate my mom’s wonderful singing sounds. After some talking over and asking for lessons, I managed to leave my guitar studies in exchange for a thriving desire to learn to play the violin. I began my musical journey to melodic exploration and deeper musical expression.

Thanks mom! Thanks for the nurturing experience of your musical voice.

In various occasions, I have been labeled by my colleagues and listeners as a “romantic violinist,” or someone who they perceive is an ideal “inspiring singing violinist.” I know that I am very unlikely to be enlisted along with Permlan’s sound and flawless technique, or Heifetz’s solid and knightly interpretations. I have always had a deep respect for both of these masters’ accomplishments and superb artistic capabilities. However, one thing is certain: If my violin’s sound and melodic lines have inspired some, it is due to the wonderful, God-given gift of having a model for good nature, sound and musical expression I have had in my mother.

Though my exposure to the Talent Education movement and encounter with Dr. Suzuki’s mother-tongue approach began much later, I can say that I have experienced the reality of Suzuki’s method through my childhood search for the musical sounds I heard from my mother’s enchanting voice.

I am grateful to God of having such an experience with the “Mother-Song” method.

Thank you mom!
