THE ARTS Some children gravitate towards the arts. Common activities include playing an instrument, singing, dance, theater and visual arts. Music stimulates parts of the brain associated with reading, math and emotional development. When embarking on musical endeavors, keiki must visualize elements coming together like keys, patterns, themes and scales. This ability has been proven to translate to problem solving, which can be used in mathematics. Children must also learn what it means to be a multitasker when it comes to music. Musicians must learn to control the fine motor skills needed for their instruments, control their breath, and read and process music while keeping time. Dance is a great choice for children MOOLELO PERFORMING ARTS STUDIO Moolelo Studios is a theater-focused performing arts program founded by longtime Honolulu director and producer, Kyle Kakuno.
