Music sharpens our brains, heightens our sense of awareness and helps develop an appreciation for beauty and value. Children who are involved in music have better skills. They are more disciplined, patient, respectful, and dedicated. Music enables them to succeed in all their endeavors. We remain for all our lives sensitive to the power of music: it holds the key to solving seemingly insurmountable challenges and obstacles. In times of difficulty,
the arts become more vital to the human condition. Through the arts we honor our past, celebrate our present and dream of our future.
Now that the importance of music in our lives has been established, lets take a detailed look at how piano lessons will affect a child:
Piano Lessons Help Children in School
Research on neurological development shows that the earlier children begin to play the piano, the deeper the neural coding will be. Those children will score higher on both the standard and spatial cognitive tests. They score higher in math than their peers, especially on problems dealing with ratios and fractions.
Piano Lessons Raise Self Esteem
Learning to play the piano takes dedication and discipline. Mastering a piece or song not only increases the child’s self esteem, but showcasing a newly learned piano piece at recitals boosts confidence as much as winning in a sports competition.
Another benefit may be that families could develop a closer, more intimate relationship, by working together toward a common goal. It gives the family members a sense of belonging.
Development is not a straight line, and music allows the child to grow at his/her own pace.
Finally, I have to chime in with so many concert artists, who frequently will say “I will thank my Mother for the rest of my days for making me practice the piano when I was young.”
Therefore, when you start playing the piano, you, too, can discover and see the Real You from a Pianist’s View.
