Parents spend a lot of time and
money investing in activities that will broaden their child's horizons,
giving them opportunities of new experiences that will enhance their
education. Music lessons have long been a popular choice, but is
it worthwhile?
You may be surprised to learn that music
lessons help to enhance academic ability in other subjects, as well
as promote good coordination and even encourage self discipline. Music
is like learning another language, and learning this language helps to
stimulate the brain.
Learning an instrument requires lots of
practice and motivation which can only be fed by enthusiasm and
enjoyment from the pupil. A lack of enthusiasm and enjoyment is the
single biggest reason for a child abandoning their music lessons, not a
lack of ability. So if this is the big problem, what’s the solution?
The only way to encourage children
to continue music lessons is to create enthusiasm: something that
traditional tuition methods no longer do. However, there are now
innovative approaches to music education that aim to tackle
this problem. One such method is pioneered by the Arts Academy.
