There is much evidence that learning to play a musical instrument aids three notable areas of child development: their social, physical and mental well-being.
Players must learn how to keep in time, play their part correctly, and work together as a unit. This helps your child develop beneficial social skills, because knowing how to work harmoniously within a group, but also being able to retain your own sense of individuality, is essential knowledge for future success.
We will show your child how to properly hold and play the instrument. Emphasis is placed on maintaining correct posture and playing position. This will help develop your child’s upper body and core strength.
In addition, just learning to play a brass instrument helps increase concentration and body coordination. Learning to play involves keeping your eyes on your music, not what your hands are doing.
Since knowing how to play an instrument is a rather specific skill, your child will build self-esteem by understanding that he or she has accomplished a difficult, yet highly fulfilling task. And, you can feel great about encouraging your child’s musical ability, knowing that the skills developed now will last a lifetime.
