"Music enhances creativity, and imagination while helping with language development, reasoning and stress reduction. It has been proven that early-music experiences enhance children's ability to learn as well as their coordination and mental development, and that music aids seniors with their awareness and mental activity as well as therapy. It is our plan to get our products in the hands of educators, senior care providers and therapist worldwide."
