Music lessons can help your kids build their self-esteem from a tender age. This way you don't need to worry much about this problem later on in life. 

 

If you're considering enrolling your kid in a musical class, but you are not sure of the benefits it has to offer, then you should read on. 

 

Listed below are some of the benefits of attending music lessons at Muse Mantra School of Music and Arts in The Woodlands, TX. 

​

Music Lessons Increase IQ

​

According to several studies, particularly that of E. Glenn Schellenberg, it has been established that music lessons increase the IQ of children. Various brain scan processes also revealed that activity in the brain is increased after musical training. Training also aids brain growth.

​

Music Lessons Instill Discipline and Patience

 

The learning of musical instruments teaches children how to be patient. This is because the process of learning most musical instruments is in stages. For instance, before you can master playing the violin, you first need to learn how to hold the violin, followed by holding the bow, and lastly where to place your feet. 

 

Learning instruments also teaches kids how to persevere. They learn the act of persevering by continuous practice.

 

Music Lessons Increase Self-esteem 

 

Music lessons are a perfect avenue for children to learn how to accept constructive criticism. Accepting negative feedback and building on it to produce positive results is a great way for children to build their self-esteem. For instance, when students play in groups, they understand that not everyone is perfect and that they can't play at the same level. This makes them understand that there's room for improvement and that by constantly improving, they can play at any level. 

 

Music Lessons Increase Academic Performance

 

According to Lynn Kleiner, originator of Music Rhapsody in Redondo Beach, music and mathematics are entwined. By understanding the rhythms, scales, and beats, you also find it easy to understand important areas of mathematics which include, fractions, divisions, and pattern recognition. Also, the use of musical instruments is a way to introduce children to physics from an early age. For example, the use of violin and plucking of guitar strings helps children learn sympathetic and harmonic vibrations. Non-strong instruments like drums also help kids understand different scientific principles. 

 

Playing Musical Instruments Develop Physical Skills

 

Some musical instruments (percussion instruments) help children to develop coordination skills. Through the regular playing of these instruments, children can move their feet and hands simultaneously. An example of this is the ability to use both left and right hands effectively through piano lessons.

 

Music School Exposes to Other Cultures

​

Through musical lessons, children can understand the values and roles of music in other cultures. For example, by playing bingo and timbales, children can understand the Cuban and African styles of music. Also, by learning how to play the modern violin, kids can become exposed to classical music which was invented by German and Austrian Musicians. Understanding different cultures help children to become open-minded from an early stage. This way, relating with other cultures will not be difficult for them when they are of age.
