The Benefits of Music Lessons in Schools
This is a collaborative post. Thank you for supporting the posts which make this blog possible.
If there is an opportunity for your child to learn music and explore their creativity at school, then this is something you should consider. Regardless of whether they want to be an artist or not, there are many great benefits to practicing it. For one, it helps children to improve on their concentration. They will need to focus to learn how to play each instrument and exercise attention to detail to isolate the different sounds and recognise the difference in notes. Here are some more great benefits according to an independent boys’ school in London.

Self-Expression
There’s something about music that allows you to just get lost in it. You can use it as an outlet to express your creativity and feelings. This can be particularly useful for children going through a hard time as it gives them a means to let out their emotions and produce something meaningful.
Fine Motor Skills
Another is hand eye coordination. Quick and complex hand movements are needed to play instruments. It helps children with what are known as fine motor skills. They are needed to pick things up, grip and carry out just about any task.
Talent
There’s also the possibility that it can lead to a prosperous career in music. Your child may have talents that they didn’t even know about which they will be able to explore through their music lessons.
Memory
Music can also help children with their memory. They will need to remember notes for songs etc which will help them in strengthening their memory.
Fun
It can be fun too. Children have the opportunity to experiment with different sounds and create something that they are proud of.
These are just a few benefits. Confidence is another area that music can help in as they’re required to perform in front of others which can develop self-esteem and teach them how to get over their nerves.
