Why Should Children Learn to Play Piano?

By Michael Mickey Charles

The latest generations of parents do not seem to grasp the importance of music lessons, particularly the piano, for their children. The importance of the arts in young peoples lives seems to have been lost. Parents of today can learn some valuable lessons from the older generation of parents who thought nothing of enforcing valuable music lessons on their children, especially piano instruction from assertive, over-achieving piano teachers. Kids can benefit from the intangible lessons learned that reach far past the musical challenges they face. Some of the qualities nurtured in children exposed to piano lessons include:

Perseverance. There are few activities like the piano that can bring a sense of achievement and success with each moment of practice. Children will effectively witness and experience the outcome of their commitment and perseverance and be able to grasp that the more time they spend in practicing their craft, the better they get. When a child understands this lesson, they are better able to appreciate their experience and avoid the tediousness that other activities or hobbies can bring.

Clarity of Feelings. Playing the piano can be a thought-provoking, emotional experience for children " the perfect outlet for self-expression. Kids can convey their innermost thoughts and feelings safely through music. Playing the piano is healing and provides a healthy way for children to show self-expression especially in light of all the difficulties they face in todays society.

Fortitude. The piano is a complex instrument so it takes time to master its intricacies. For kids, it is quite enjoyable to learn easy songs, but they learn quickly that practice is essential for performing any song they want to learn properly. Patience with learning lessons from instructors is a valuable lesson they learn as well as learning the piano itself in addition to outside influences and requests from friends and family.

Individuality. As children grow, they will indefinitely become more and more aware of their own individuality. Having to learn to play piano can be one more thing that sets them apart from other children. However, the one thing that kids realize when they reach high school is that being different is good, but being different and talented is even better.

Dependability. Being held accountable for the care and responsibility of their piano is one way to exhibit their conscientiousness and trustworthiness. Caring for their instrument is an important aspect in playing the piano and once a child is familiar with the maintenance, they soon are well-tuned to their instrument and know instinctively when it needs a little extra care. Many other areas of life are uniquely linked to this responsibility they exhibit. - 18762
