The Benefits of Piano Lessons.
Learning to play the piano is not just a rewarding and enjoyable pastime, it has also been found to have many mental and physical benefits. Learning a musical instrument, and learning the piano in particular, has been shown have a positive effect on the development of language skills, literacy, numeracy, IQ, self-efficacy, and – with the right kind of instruction – creativity and self-esteem. Believe it or not, music making can have a positive effect on physical health as well. Playing the piano, for instance, exercises the heart as much as a brisk walk. Participation in musical activities has also been shown to contribute to perceived good health, quality of life and mental well-being. Read more…
