The
International School of Music was established
in June of 1993 and is one of the most prestigious
music schools in Glendale, California. Through
its curriculum the school provides rich educational
opportunities for children ages six and a
half and up, and has achieved a distinguished
reputation in the community.
The International School of Music presently
has an enrollment exceeding 500 students and
a diligent staff of 32, all of whom have a
minimum of fifteen years of teaching experience
and hold degrees in their areas of expertise.
Substantial documentation supports the theory
that childhood development is greatly enhanced
academically and socially by studies in the
area of music.
Physician and biologist Lewis Thomas studied
the undergraduate majors of medical school
applicants. He found that 66% of music majors
who applied to medical school were admitted,
the highest percentage of any group, 44% of
biochemistry majors were admitted. – As reported
in “The Case for Music in the Schools,” Philadelphia
Kappan, February 1994.
