When a child learns how to play an instrument, that child will build upon his or her musical abilities while gaining a wide array of additional benefits.
In our first Why Music is Important for Children article, we discussed how music can help children build confidence. In our second, we delved into how learning a musical instrument can improve communication skills. And in this article, we are going to talk about another positive impact learning music has on children.
Why Music is Important for Children: Teaches Patience
At some point in your life, you may have heard the saying, “patience is a virtue”. This is definitely true and even more relevant when it pertains to children. Learning a new musical instrument is fun, however, it takes a lot of hard work and practice. Throughout the learning process, your child will develop patience, leading up to the many proud moments he or she perfects a new song or creates a brand-new melody. At Jimmy Osborne Music, our teachers work with all students at their own pace, helping them achieve their musical goals in a judgement-free, encouraging environment.
