Your child’s involvement in music
We have our students wellbeing at the centre of our hearts
At 2 Dream Music it is our passion to teach our students important life changing skills through the use of musical practices.
Music can be a fundamental building block in a child’s life if practiced regularly.
It has been proven that music can help cognitive function, emotional regulation, improve mental health, connect children to their inner self and so much more.
By choosing to incorporate music into your child’s life, you are giving them the gift of self understanding, love and passion through creativity.
Teaching a child to play an instrument can be a powerful way to support both cognitive and motor development. Andrew Budson, Chief of Cognitive and Behavioral Neurology at VHBAF, found that those who study music have a healthier brain health. This is supported by researchers Mandy Stefanakis and Robin Stevens, who discovered that music enhances concentration by activating multiple areas of the brain simultaneously. As a result, children who learn an instrument early in life are more likely to retain information effectively into adulthood. Additionally, music promotes faster learning, stronger motor coordination, and better decision-making skills. Andrew Rumey, a music teacher and performer, also highlights that listening to music can improve speech pronunciation. By hearing how singers elongate and articulate notes, students can mimic these patterns through melody and rhythm, which helps improve verbal clarity and communication.
Emotional Regulation
“If people regularly use music as an emotional regulator in their daily life—
such as to stay calm or provide companionship—they will find it easier to gain further benefits from music when learning something new,””
Why Choose Us?
Music therapy is a powerful tool that supports communication, emotional regulation, social connection, self-confidence, and motor development. Through its creative and engaging approach, music therapy offers individuals of all ages a unique way to enhance well-being and foster personal growth.
Scientific evidence proves music to be one of the most effective teaching tools allowing students to thrive in all aspects of their learning as well as learning a new skill.
We develop our music lessons for our students to be able to have a healthier wellbeing, as well as promoting positive changes in their, emotional and cognitive development. We use the evidence provided to help create our courses to benefit our students:

At 2 Dream Music, we recognise the profound benefits of musical practices in a child’s development, all while making the experience fun and engaging. We design performances, exercises, and games that not only educate but also captivate young learners. Our lessons create a space where children can experience joy while learning to express their emotions through music. Over the years, we've observed that performing music offers students a valuable creative outlet, as well as an emotional one, allowing them to channel their feelings into art. Additionally, by listening to songs with diverse emotional themes, our students gain a deeper understanding of their own emotions, learning how to articulate their feelings and thoughts more clearly.
Social Connection
At 2 Dream Music, we place great emphasis on fostering interaction among students as a key component of our programs. Through our group sessions, students learn the importance of patience as they take turns performing, while also developing kindness and consideration for their peers. By providing each student the chance to perform in front of others, we help them build confidence in expressing themselves to a group. Additionally, these sessions teach the value of collaboration, as students work together to create truly remarkable performances.
Mental health
A child’s mental health is a vital aspect of their overall well-being, which is why we advocate for musical practices as a way to support mental health. Extensive evidence demonstrates that music therapy, along with general engagement in music, is an effective treatment for anxiety and depression—often proving more successful than traditional cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBT).
“Music therapy can make the difference between withdrawal and awareness, between isolation and interaction, between chronic pain and comfort – between demoralisation and dignity”
According to Andrew Budson, Chief of Cognitive and Behavioural Neurology at VHBAF, individuals who regularly listen to music experience lower levels of anxiety and depression, contributing to a greater sense of well-being. By learning patience and dedication through the practice of music, students not only cultivate calmness and motivational thinking but also develop valuable life skills that will benefit them in various aspects of their future.
