Guitar Lessons for Children
Guitar lessons are one of the best gifts you can give your child. Through playing music, your child can learn self-expression and gain confidence. Being able to play a musical instrument is a skill that can accompany your child through life.
Studies have shown that music is good for your brain! Children who learn to read music actually score higher on tests and perform better scholastically. Stanford University research has found that musical training improves how the brain processes the spoken word. Children who are at risk of becoming poor readers may benefit from musical training.
Why are guitar lessons a good choice for your child?
- Student guitars come in a wide range of prices, so it is easy to find one that matches your budget.
- Guitars come in different sizes so it is easy to match the instrument to the child.
- Owning a guitar can give your child a sense of responsibility. They will need to care for the guitar and learn to treat the instrument with respect.
- Adding guitar lessons is an easy transition for your child’s schedule since the child is already used to being in a learning environment.
- Playing guitar gives your child a “hobby for life”.
- Since the guitar is a portable instrument, your child can continue the practice schedule in a place and time that is convenient for your schedule.
A Safe Environment
Many parents want to know that their child is in a safe environment when they are taking lessons. For local students, I offer the safety of my teaching studio. While the lesson is taking place, the parent is invited to relax in the studio, and take some time out from their busy day. After a few lessons, most parents prefer to drop their child off and come back at the end of the lesson for a recap to understand what the child’s next assignment will be.
Try a Virtual Lesson!
For students who are not local to me (or even if you are), there is no safer environment than your own home! Your child can enjoy a virtual lesson at a time that is convenient for you without having to travel. No worries about inclement weather. Virtual lessons take the distance and worry out of the equation.
