Why Everyone Should Take Music
Lessons
It’s Good for You!It is not hard to find a plethora of positive information on the benefits of music. Not only does music strengthen the brain, it strengthens the rest of the body. The emotional and psychological benefits of music are obvious to anyone who has ever been cheered up or calmed down by listening to a beloved song, but there is good reason to believe music also benefits those in need of pain management and other physical struggles. It is not only therapeutic for our minds, but our muscles!
It Makes You a Better Person!Learning to play an instrument can be hard work,no doubt. It takes a prolonged investment of time and effort. This pays off not only in gaining a valuable skill, but in cultivating character traits that apply in all areas of life. In learning to play an instrument, one also has multiple opportunities to learn self-discipline, self-confidence, deferred gratification, diligence, motivation, perseverance, creativity, and humility.
It Can Make You Popular!Musicians can be the life of the party, right? You don't have to be an expert musician to experience that. For every social gathering, music brings a special vibe that everyone enjoys. You can go to the piano and play a few tunes, or bring along that guitar or ukulele and have everyone singing happy birthday!
We are wired to make music together and we should take advantage of those opportunities to do so.
Music Lessons Help Preserve Our Civilization!One of the pitfalls of our technologically advanced, increasingly computerized society is its capacity for discouraging certain human activities. Playing a musical instrument is such an enriching activity and does not require staring into screens!
To get music lessons for your kids, or to take lessons yourself, is to pass on valuable knowledge to the next generation while fighting back in a small way against the encroachment of technology on society. It also enhances cultural literacy. Students usually learn the great works of our western civilization.
As a music educator for over 30 years now, I can't tell you how many adults have told me "I wish my parents didn't let me quit those lessons I took as a kid". The lesson here is to keep up those lessons and you will see the reward for the rest of your life!
Keep up the great work and happy music making!
