The Wonderful Benefits of Piano Lessons

When people of all ages take piano lessons, they learn much more than just how to perform! There are many other benefits of learning music.

Parents find that playing piano not only improve their children's memorization and small motor skills, but strongly contribute to the building of their child's self-confidence. This in turn helps children succeed not only in music, but in school and other outside activities. Both children and their parents find it truly rewarding when a child reaches a pre-set goal or milestone; whether that is learning a new song, performing in front of others or just finding enjoyment in music.
Adults in their 20s and 30s see lessons as a creative outlet and something to help them de-stress after a long day, as well as other health benefits of learning music. For many, piano lessons are the beginning steps of a career in live performance or recorded music. For others, piano lessons are a way to express emotion or impress others with their new-found talents through a birthday, wedding, or special event performance.
Older adults find that piano lessons are a great way to stay mentally active. Many will resume lessons for an instrument they played in the past to polish up their skills while others are interested in learning something brand new and acquiring a special talent. Music is known to be therapeutic and a great way to keep one's mind young! It is never too late to get started with lessons; in fact, there are many positive benefits for adults who take music lessons, including the following:

  • Music lessons help with job skills such as creative thinking, collaboration, social aptitude, expressive communication, and confidence.
  • Music lessons provide a creative outlet that balances work life, family life, and personal time.
  • Music lessons can help lower stress.

​Tonia is an awesome piano teacher. My son started at the age of TWO! I wasn't sure if it was too early, but Tonia made it fun. He knew and remembered where to place his fingers and the keys (Animals represent the letters, like Ella the Elephant). I am so impressed. It's never too early to start!
