While many parents agree that enrolling children in sports is a good way to condition their children (both physically and socially), an increasing amount of parents are realizing that enrolling their children in music classes brings many benefits to the children.
The most popular instrument for music lessons is still the piano, but there are a myriad of other instruments to choose from. However, for the sake of this article, the focus will remain solely on the piano, although many examples given here can be tweaked and used pertaining to other instruments.
Playing the piano helps kids develop coordination, specifically, hand-eye coordination. Kids will learn how to use both their hands in completely different ways at the same time, and their eyes will learn how to read two completely different lines of music simultaneously. Hand and eye coordination helps sharpen the nervous system and will keep their brains developing.
Concentration will also improve in young children's minds, because not only do they have to learn pieces, but they will have to memorize songs as well. Their brains will also have to learn how to sight read (which can be very challenging), how to recognize chords, and how to use the foot pedals. Going hand in hand with concentration is discipline, because it takes both discipline and concentration to master a piece of music.
Playing the piano will also boost your child's self esteem. Every performance they give will be culmination of hours of hard work, and their recital is equivalent to a sports championship. Giving a recital can be absolutely nerve-wracking, but like most things "worth it", the adrenaline rush and sense of accomplishment at the end makes the whole process worthwhile. If children stick to piano lessons, and continue to move ever higher on the difficulty ladder, their recitals will take on even greater significance, as it can lead to a life-long career in professional music.
If a child takes a particular likening to piano, they will soon learn that there are many career opportunities for professional piano players. In fact, being a piano player is a highly respected job and can earn beau coup money. Not only are there positions in orchestras, but studio musicians, television musicians, soundtrack musicians, piano bars, piano lounges, high class hotels, and casinos all pay top dollar for good piano players. In fact, only three musicians have ever been awarded a Pulitzer Prize, and Thelonious Monk, a legendary piano player, was one of the recipients. It just goes to show that when a person begins playing the piano in earnest, the limits are indeed endless.
