Cape Classic for children“Those who educate children well are more to be honoured than they who produce them; for these only gave them life, those the art of living well.” Aristotle.
A study by the German Ministry of Education and Science about the influence of musical education on children
concluded: “Music increases the IQ of children as well as their social competence. Kids who receive music lessons will show more emotional stability and have clearly increased powers of concentration and higher levels of intelligence.”
This is why Cape Classic supports the education of black children in Kayamandi by contributing to the funding of a pre-school facility and a music school. In 2006 Cape Classic bought instruments and paid the salaries of three music teachers at the “iKhaya Music Project” in Kayamandi.
