Benefits of Learning to Play an Instrument

By Lori Buenavista


Countless opportunities are available for your infant: team sports, dancing class, art, foreign language study, and just plain running around outside, being a kid. Music and songs lessons are yet another excellent chance; and they have a unique list of rewards that will last a lifetime-advantage that make music lessons a chance not to miss. Playing a musical instrument boosts self confidence. If your child takes piano or violin lessons and sticks to it, she'll soon be playing good enough to share her musical capabilities with family and friends. She'll see herself as a "musician" (even if she's still working on Row, Row, Row your Boat). Learning a new ability and sharing it with other kids help your child gain an optimistic view and a sense of accomplishment in life.

Teens with strong self esteem are unlikely to take part in underage drinking, drugs and sexual acts, and they're less susceptible to depression symptoms. Reading music boosts math skills. In addition to being able to play the proper notes, time signature and dynamics, reading music boosts math skills. Researchers think this is due to a wide variety of reasons: it requires counting and rhythm and possesses other mathematical aspects which are learned naturally. While your little one is understanding the contrast between a quarter note and an eighth note, he's discovering how fast to relax and play... but he's also understanding the values of fractions.

Training music teaches time management planning and discipline. Learning how to manage time and have the discipline to get things executed are important skills that will help your son or daughter throughout his entire life. Rehearsing music will take time, and getting the most out of the practice session requires being attentive to how that time is spent. Finding out how to discipline himself to sit down at the piano or grab the violin teaches your children that there's a reward for doing something he doesn't always wish to accomplish.

Actively playing a musical tool improves your ability to remember and IQ. Many studies have shown that enjoying a musical tool on a normal schedule actually modifies the makeup of the brain; the areas of the brain that regulate small motor skills, hearing and memory all increase and form increased connections. One study demonstrated that playing a musical piece of equipment improves your IQ by an average of 7 points. A good way to gain a more robust memory is by constantly working out that part of your brain. Understanding a musical portion is a great brain workout.

Performing boosts self confidence and social competencies. Performing around an audience helps your child discover how to handle stage fear and become positive about front of others. Anyone who's ever had to speak to a crowd knows the value of confidence. Participating in school bands and orchestras is a wonderful approach to meet new people and gain long term friendships. A chance to work as a team in a much larger group of musicians is one more benefits.
