HELPS YOU LEARN IN SCHOOL

    

      The most talked about benefit children receive from piano, voice, violin, guitar and other music lessons is that it also helps with their learning process in school. Numerous studies available show children who play an instrument, score higher on both standard and spatial cognitive development tests alike.

​

    There are also findings that show kids who play piano, in particular, scored higher in math, especially on problems dealing with ratios and fractions. It has been shown that preschoolers who received piano lessons scored 34% higher than their non-musical counterparts in tests measuring spatial-temporal reasoning, which is the brain function used to understand math, science and engineering.

​

RAISES SELF-ESTEEM

      

     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 at piano recitals can boost their self esteem as much as winning a game in a sports competition. Lessons also help kids to learn how to keep a positive outlook when facing difficult tasks. The understanding that mastering a new skill is a process that requires patience helps children to approach tasks with confidence, and not become discouraged or frustrated.

​

INCREASES COORDINATION

​

     Increased eye-hand coordination is almost a given for children that learn to play the piano, but there is more than that. Kids who play the piano have improved fine motor skills and, unlike other instruments, the piano requires both hands to work independently of each other, one moving fast while the other may be moving at a slower rate. All of these things help to increase a child’s overall dexterity and complex thought processes.

​

INCREASED CONCENTRATION

    

    Reading a piece of music takes a great deal of focus, causing a child to interpret a note and a rhythm, translate it into hand movements on the keyboard and then immediately go on to the next one. Reading and playing 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.

HELPS YOU BECOME WELL-ROUNDED

 

   Regardless of whether a child plays the piano for a short time or for a lifetime, the long-term affects of their piano pursuance are many. Through playing the piano, children are exposed to classical music that they may otherwise have never heard. Kids may develop an appreciation for composers like Bach or Mozart that stay with Piano them for life. In addition, the skills and knowledge they learn in piano may help them easily pick up another musical instrument later. Most importantly, it opens up anybody to a new perspective, helping them learn how to be open minded. Being open minded helps unify the people and brings of world together.
