"Music education can help spark a child's imagination or ignite a lifetime of passion. When you provide a child with new worlds to explore and challenges to tackle, the possibilities are endless. Music education should not be a privilege for a lucky few, it should be a part of every child's world of possibility."  

~ H. Clinton

Maybe you have witnessed how your child’s mood was lifted or settled when they listen to music… or maybe your son or daughter has demonstrated a fascination with the sounds different instruments make… or maybe they have been captivated watching music videos on TV or YouTube. 

Maybe you love music yourself and simply wish to give your child the joy of making music or the simple pleasure of creating something beautiful. Maybe you played when you were younger and remember how fulfilling, relaxing, interesting, and satisfying it was to play and wish to give that gift to your son or daughter. 

These are all terrific reasons for giving your child the gift of music. 

But there are also additional benefits when your son or daughter learns to play an instrument.

Imagine your son or daughter five, ten, or even fifteen years from now. They are responsible, organised, and focused. They have developed discipline and patience. They work well with others, are reliable, adaptable, curious, and creative. They are resourceful, can handle stress well, confident in their own abilities, and know how to bounce back from disappointment or even failure. 

These are just some of the qualities your child will develop studying music—and they are essential in contributing to their future success as human beings! Research has demonstrated over and over again that emotional intelligence is far more important in determining success in life than IQ. 

Playing music contributes to other lifelong benefits that your son or daughter will cherish for the rest of their life. Playing music makes people happy. It also contributes in developing their imagination. According to Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft, music lets you “look beyond what currently exists and express yourself in a new way.” 

Playing music introduces your son or daughter to other cultures and learn to appreciate different traditions and values. Playing music is also an amazing stress reliever as well as a healthy way to express feelings they quite don’t know how to process. When your son or daughter learns to play a simple piece of music, they also achieve a sense of fulfilment.

And finally, playing music is just fun. It is the gift of a lifetime. 

Nothing is more important than finding the right teacher to not only establish a strong foundation of musical and technical skills, but also build character. In fact, it is critical that you find the best teacher to guide your son or daughter in discovering their abilities and full potential.
