Music lessons cultivate a wide range of skills. Playing an instrument requires fine motor skills, practice, knowledge of a musical system and emotional intelligence to convey the piece's message.

The process is also much like going to school in that the music student is learning interactively, whether in a group or one-on-one environment. Smaller classrooms have been shown to increase learning potential, and therefore these smaller, individualized sessions help develop increased learning aptitude and attention.

Music education isn’t just for friendships and relationships.

I believe that students also need to learn about effective communication strategies primarily in school so that they can find ways to work together with their teachers and peers to find academic success.
Children learn by observing and imitating and so watching and being supported by adults who encourage and work creatively by being flexible in approach, solving problems and painting and drawing with them can help develop their creativity. Children’s environments and the practitioners who work with them should be receptive to new ideas and innovations and encourage them to explore and be creative.
