Want the best for your child? Giving them the knowledge of playing an instrument can help them in the long run. There are many benefits by letting your child learn how to play an instrument. Everyone wants their child to succeed academically and by letting them play an instrument, they will sure do well. After many studies, scientist found that the kids that play an instrument are smarter than those that don’t because by playing music it causes development of the primary motor cortex, the cerebellum and corpus callosum of the brain. In math, fractions are easier for kids with music lessons to comprehend because they understand time signatures. Children will develop discipline as well when they learn how to play an instrument. In order to master playing their instrument, they have to practice on a daily basis; in turn they will develop self-discipline. A child must learn how to be patient when they are learning. This will help them in their adult years when more challenging circumstances ensue. What I found interesting is on this page, they stated that children who play an instrument will be more empathetic than any other children. They will develop the compassion and empathy instead of being spoiled and selfish with an “it’s all about me attitude”.
Music is so popular these days and children who practice music will likely have more self-confidence than those who doesn’t. So later on in life they will probably become the better communicators because of their music talent. A study at Brown University studied music and its effect on child development and found that children at the age of 3 to 4 performed 34% better than other children because they were given basic piano lessons. These children were from diverse economic backgrounds. Adult can even benefit from learning. Adults can develop similar benefits as children. For them, playing an instrument can relieve stress (something kids don’t have a clue about). Also, playing music will strengthen their brains giving them better memory. There are endless possibilities of the benefits of playing an instrument. So if possible, give your child a talent that they will later thank you for. They are expensive but sure are worth the point.
I agree that music is great for kids! My daughter has had guitar and keyboard lessons but lost interest in them both. The guitar lessons were several years ago and now she is ready to give it another shot. So I just bought her a guitar this week and signed her up for lessons. I told her if she doesn't practice then I'm selling the guitar on ebay! I think she likes the guitar enough to want to keep it so she will practice. She has a gift for music so I hope she really gives it some effort.
