Numerous studies show that children who play an instrument score higher on both standard and spatial cognitive development tests. One recent study found that preschoolers who received piano lessons scored 34% higher than their nonmusical counterparts in tests measuring spatial-temporal reasoning, which is the brain function used to understand math, science and engineering.
Learning to play the piano is hard work and takes dedication. Not only does each song mastered increase children’s self-esteem, but showcasing their newly learned talents at piano recitals can boost their self esteem as much as winning a game in a sports competition.
Reading a piece of music takes a great deal of focus, for the child must interpret a note and a rhythm, translate it into hand movements on the keyboard and then immediately go on to the next one. Reading and playing music allows children to think both critically and creatively, which is a skill that will assist them in anything they choose to undertake in the future.
