Looking for an extracurricular activity for your child? Want one that can help your child both now and many years into the future?

How about piano lessons?

Piano lessons can help children:

• Become more centered as human beings
• Become more focused and content within themselves
• Become more self disciplined
• Increase their concentration levels
• Increase their self worth
• Increase their self confidence
• Provide more self esteem
• Increase their ability to learn
• Increase their scores and results in classes and on tests
• Increase their find motor skills
• Give them a lifelong skill
• Bring them years of joy and fun

All great reasons to nudge your children into playing the piano.

But overall, nothing is fun if they don’t see a purpose to it.

One of the best ways to start your child down the path and the love for music is to introduce them to it from early on.

Dancing, singing and even making music with toys, pots and pans and other “musical” instruments in your home will show them early on the value of music. Point out your favorite songs on the radio. Attend concerts in your community – you can find almost any level of musical concert close by, from school activities to professional performances from the best names in the business.

You can even watch American Idol, America’s Got Talent, The Voice, or other musical reality television show to show your child how music can be a part of our lives at all ages.

Kids need to see the connection in order to bring it into their own lives. Once they see the value of music, integrating piano into their lives is something they want to do, not have to do. And that’s a big distinction at an early age.
