I've been a massive fan of music for as long as I can remember, so it was no shock to me that music is instrumental (excuse the pun) in the development of a child's IQ and concentration levels.

The latest survey from Karacha reveals that 74% of British parents believe that it is important to encourage children to actively take part in making music from an early age, be it learning how to play an instrument, singing songs or joining a music group - the benefits are well documented.

Karacha are involved in some great activities at the moment - check out the site here.
