Book Music Classes & Lessons with Austin Arts Academy and give your plants an extra little boost
The Benefits of Houseplants…
You’re probably aware that houseplants have numerous benefits, like purifying the air of allergens and toxins, keeping you healthier and adding beauty to your home or work space.
But did you know that houseplants like music?
Music helps stimulate growth.
I didn’t know this until I saw some fun facts about plants on National Houseplant Appreciation Day, celebrated on Jan 10th every year.
And then I thought, hmm….well this makes sense. A lot of people talk to their plants, myself included. Why wouldn’t they like music too?
Then I thought about all the plants at Rebekah’s house. If you’ve been to her house for lessons with Austin Arts Academy, you know what I’m talking about. ALL of the plants are gorgeous and I can’t help but believe it’s in some part due to all the music that gets played there.

Nature Nurtures
By mid-January, most of us have taken down the Christmas tree and are missing that feeling of having a live plant in the house. It’s a great time to add a new plant to your decor or treat your current houseplants to some extra TLC.
Why not try giving them an extra boost and play them a song or sing to them. Apparently they don’t care if you’re on pitch or in tune. And of course, if you want help with your pitch or tune, we have private lessons and group classes that improve these skills.
Whether you have house plants and believe music can actually help them grow or not, I'm sure you can appreciate the way that both nature and music nurture the soul!
The Benefits of Music…
Music has the ability to change our mood, bring back memories, and nurture us at a deep level, allowing us to grow too. So playing music is not only advantageous for our plants, but those playing and others listening as well. Other benefits include decreased stress and anxiety.
Plus lessons and classes at Austin Arts Academy provide the opportunity to learn more than just music… keep reading
When houseplants thrive, so do you…
Your plants will absorb the sound from you or your child practicing and create a more serene space to create. When your plants are thriving, they will create a calming atmosphere to learn and grow in.
Curious how you can be more creative? Keep reading…
When we learn and create from a more relaxed state, we are more productive. It’s a win win! You’re plants are happy and so are you.
