Create Beautiful Music

Below you will find the top 10 reasons to take music lessons below.

1. Music Lessons Help Children in School

Numerous studies have concluded that children who play an instrument score higher on both standard and spatial cognitive development tests alike. Kids who
play piano, in particular, scored higher in math, especially on problems dealing with ratios and fractions.

3. Music Lessons Increase Coordination

Playing the piano and violin develops many aspects of coordination: eye-hand coordination, fine motor skills, ambidexterity, and independence of the hands. This is especially true when both hands are doing two different things at the same time – one playing loud the other soft, one playing staccato and the other legato, one hand playing chords and the other playing a melody, etc.

5. Music Lessons Teach Courage

A piano student participates in various music performances like a recital, or piano competition. The student learns to deal with racing heartbeats, fingers
trembling, anxiety, and lack of focus in an effort to control one’s nerves. Participation in these performances will eventually help a child to be able to
handle stress with poise and grace.

7. The Piano is the Mother Instrument

It is no wonder, that most of the major classical composers like Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, and Mozart chose the piano as their primary instrument.
Because one is able to play many notes at the same time, the piano is a wonderful tool for composing symphonies, quartets, and other works where the
melody and harmony can be played simultaneously. In addition, because the piano is both a stringed instrument and a percussive instrument, many different timbres of sound can be produced on a piano.

9. Piano Lessons Help With All Music Endeavors

Whether it’s a rock band or a music theory class, learning the piano is a foundation for all future music endeavors. In addition, the skills and knowledge
they learn in piano helps them easily pick up another musical instrument.

2. Music Lessons Raise Self Esteem

When parents set aside that special time to be with their child during lessons and practice time, children feel special. When loving praise is given often from parent and teacher, a child feels great about the work they have put in, and motivated to do more. Learning to play the piano is hard work and takes dedication. Not only does each song mastered increase a child’s self-esteem, but showcasing their newly learned talents can boost their self-esteem as much as
winning a game in a sports competition.

4. Music Lessons Help Children to Concentrate

Learning a piece of music takes a great deal of focus, causing a child to interpret a note and a rhythm and then translate it into hand movements on the
keyboard. The longer the piece, the more concentration is developed. Playing and reading music allows them to think both critically and creatively, which is a skill that will assist them in anything they choose to undertake in the
future.

6. Music Lessons Teach Perseverance

One of the most important benefits of piano lessons is the value of hard work and perseverance in long-term goals. The perception that not everything in life is instantaneous is a lesson worth learning! Piano students learn that little steps today actually prepare them for the future. Students recognize that as
they advance from one level to the next level, they are not only getting better but enjoying piano playing as well. In a teenager’s life, especially in moments when they want something intensely, their minds will be distracted from the route of immediate or short-term gratification. Hard work will ultimately usher them back to their long-term goals.

8. Music Lessons develop the brain

Playing the piano involves interplay of both right and left-brain activity that stimulates neural development.

10. Piano Lessons Help Children to be Well-Rounded

Regardless of whether a child plays the piano for a short time or for a lifetime, the long-term effects of their piano pursuance are many. They are developing a skill that will last them their whole life long. I have heard stories of elderly people who are unable to walk, but who sit in front of a piano and can play perfectly. Your children may not turn out to be concert
pianists, but they may become doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs, engineers, writers, and teachers… because they have been provided immeasurable
opportunities to develop essential life skills. The overall benefit of piano studies is not even about music itself. It is about becoming a fine person.
