Albert Hunt

It has been my distinct pleasure to perform chamber music with Lana Em in many settings and with a variety of ensembles. Ms. Em is an outstanding musician who offers creative ideas that inevitably enhance the music. She has outstanding technique, but what I like best about her playing is her creativity. I also appreciate her professionalism in the way she comes to rehearsals prepared and in her ability to deal with a range of musical personalities.

Benefits of musical Studies

Mathematical Skills

While engaging in music, a child develops mathematical skills. A student thinks spatially getting to the right keys, manipulates abstract sound figures memorizing the music text. He knows there is nothing to subtract nor to add in a musical piece, exactly as in mathematical corroboration! It is no coincidence that Albert Einstein played the violin and professors of physics and mathematics make up 70% of the members of the University of Oxford music club.

Structure & Hierarchy

Music is structural and hierarchical: massive compositions fall into less magnitude parts, which in turn are divided into smaller themes and fragments, consisting of minor phrases and motifs. The spontaneous understanding of the musical hierarchy facilitates the understanding of a computer, also entirely hierarchical and structural. Music leads directly to the apex of a computer science; so not without reason Microsoft prefers employees with music education.

Multitasking

Musical lessons nurture small "Caesars", who can do many things at once. Music promotes multitasking. For example, a pianist does several things at once while reading from the music text. He remembers the past, looks to the future and controls the present. The music flows at its own pace, and the reader cannot stop, relax, and take a breath. An air traffic controller, a computer operator or an exchange broker similarly monitors multiple screens and simultaneously listens and transmits information over several phones.
