The purpose of this research study is to learn more about the effects a musical intervention has on typical brain development in preschool-aged children.
This study will advance the science on brain research in young children by determining the effects of a musical intervention or training on children's brain development. The study will investigate how regular instruction in the Suzuki-like method of violin affects brain structure and function over the course of approximately five (5) months in preschool-aged children participating in an Early Childhood/Headstart preschool program when compared to a control group of their peers.

Participants in this research project will be involved with a different research project (Avera Family Wellness Program) investigating the effects of a family-based wellness approach to addressing emotional-behavioral needs of preschool-age children and their families. The Avera Family Wellness Program (AFWP) consists of a group of children who receive the family-based intervention and a group of control preschool-age children.
