Actively learning to play a musical instrument, or learning to sing or perform drama help a child’s development in so many and varied ways.

Benefits include increased academic achievement, increased comprehension and maths skills, better coordination, and a greater capacity for memory. Learning to play a musical instrument also helps improve how the brain processes speech and can help improve your child’s reading ability.

Active participation and meaningful engagement in learning to sing, perform or to play a musical instrument helps to train your child’s brain to focus, concentrate and stay on-task not only during their lesson but in in the classroom and in other activities.

Children who study music from an early age also learn that there are rewards from hard work, practice, and discipline; important skills for accomplishing anything in life.

Your child will be filled with a sense of accomplishment after mastering a song, difficult chord, or instrument and strengthens confidence and self-expression.

Playing a musical instrument also develops fine motor skills.

Most of all though, playing music, singing and performing makes you feel happy! There are few pleasures that compare to sitting down with your instrument or raising your voice in song and letting your feelings flow through a musical piece.
