How will my child benefit from learning to play a musical instrument?
Research in recent years has helped to clarify what many of us already believed. Recent research suggests that exposure to music may benefit a child’s intelligence and the development of certain parts of the brain. Learning to play an instrument will teach a child discipline and perseverance. The rewards come with the very personal sense of achievement when they can enjoy playing a piece of music and entertaining others. Playing a musical instrument can provide balance in an otherwise busy life, relieving stress and inspiring confidence. It can be hard work, but playing an instrument is fun and rewarding and playing music with others is a great way to make new friends.
