For many adults, learning to play the piano is a great way to help alleviate stress, stimulate the mind, improve coordination, and promote an overall sense of well-being.
After a long hard day, it’s great to relax and express your emotions with the soothing sounds of a genuine acoustic piano.
Playing the piano is not only fun and entertaining, it also provides great exercise for your brain. The same way your muscles can benefit from resistance or cardiovascular exercises, practicing the piano for just 20 minutes a day can help keep you mentally fit.
Toddlers and preschoolers love rhymes and songs. Not only do they enjoy them, but they help children learn about numbers, letters, and sounds (“ABC song”, “This Old Man”). As children’s brains are developing at their fastest when they are very young, with 80 percent of brain development occurring by age 3, and 90 percent by age 5, music helps with making connections in the brain.
Although there is some controversy on exactly how much music affects children’s learning abilities, it is known that music is linked to improved math, memory and reading skills. When children are creative and make up their own rhymes and songs, they are also building their knowledge of words and sounds. They are building the connections in the brain. It doesn’t matter what kind of music they hear or create, all music matters.
Did you have lessons as a child? Did you quit because you were bored and now you would like to start again??? Now is the time!! Whether you are 5 or 95 music can benefit you. You can hear a song and it will bring back memories of a place where you heard it the first time. The healing of mental, and emotional stress can happen when you sit down at a piano…remember 20 minutes a day can change your life! Bring joy and peace back into your day!
Don’t ever say “I’m too old!” Don’t ever think your child is too young. EVERYONE can benefit! Make up your mind for the right change!! Don’t just listen to music, be a part! Play!! COME PLAY WITH US!
