About EdCaster Music Center

“A mind that is stretched to a new idea never returns to its original dimension”

Oliver Wendell Holmes

“According to Maria Montessori M.D., it is very important for children to receive exposure and experience with music between the ages of two and a half to six. Dr. Montessori called this period the sensitive period for learning. During this sensitive period, children are sensitive to learning and absorbing music. The sensitive periods are blocks or stages of time that a child is particularly sensitive to or attuned to the acquisition of some particular knowledge or skill (Montessori, 1966).

Children should receive music instruction during their sensitive period, ages two through six. A problem occurs when children do not receive music instruction during these sensitive periods because they lose out on valuable brain growth and development. According to Montessori, if children have not been able to learn a skill during his or her sensitive period the opportunity to learn is lost (Montessori, 1966). In addition, Maria Montessori M.D. stressed the importance for children to receive exposure and experience with music and language-rich experience between the ages of two and a half to six.”

When did you discover you got the music in you? I got my first guitar when I was four years old. ¡Gracias Abuelita! My first performance was at seven.

From then on, music became part of me. It helps me to be in tune with my universe. It is the driving force behind my work and the harmony that gives me peace of mind. There is nothing more meaningful in my life. EdCaster.com Music Center is a PRONTOMIZE™ project created to express this passion.
