Learning any type of musical instrument or developing the ability to sing takes an extensive amount of practice and determination to succeed. According to some researchers, the younger a child starts to learn his or her musical abilities, the earlier the child will grow. The child will not only take advantage of the tangible rewards of a learned skill, but also many intangible benefits that come with a developed skill. Children can start learning music as early as the age of six months old. Usually, it is best to start teaching children from 1-2 years old. Music classes can be fast paced and entertaining. Children can participate in a wide range of musical experiences and choose whatever instrument they like. Each musical instrument is unique and captivates individual interest. Some kids would choose to play stringed and wind instruments, while others would be more interested in percussion or singing. In addition, music is a great way for children to participate in activities for better learning and development. Children can listen to music, and move or follow actions taught by their teachers.
Many parents who enrol their child in musical lessons do not fully understand the benefits of the learning process and development of a child. Even if the child does not choose a career in music, the positive impacts of music are very valuable for the rest of the child’s life. Here are other benefits kids can acquire from music lessons:
Entertainment
Everyone in the world appreciates music. Music comes in different genres from modern, to classic, acoustic, rock, and so much more. Music is like therapy for the soul, because it relaxes the spirit and inspires emotions. Generally, music brings joy and entertainment. This keeps children from turning to distracting activities such as video games or television.
Discipline
Music can be frustrating at first because it takes hours, days, weeks, many times even years before one can master a musical instrument. The good thing about music lessons is that it teaches a child the concept of self-discipline. Mastering the art of music takes a lot of time, and you have to give credit to kids who are so passionate about it and never give up learning. Children can be more successful adults when they start learning values at an early stage. Discipline will teach them to work hard before they can get what they want.
Culture
Students can learn so many things in music such as the different styles, the types of instruments, history of composers and great musicians, and the ability to learn fractions that is useful for arithmetic and mathematical skills. If you want your children to learn all these, enroll them for toddler music classes.
Hand-eye Coordination and Dexterity
One of the best things music lessons can teach is the ability to practice body coordination and dexterity while playing beautiful tunes. The hands can move according to what the eyes read from the score. This skill may also be applied in other useful activities such as sports.
