Keyboard Lessons Help Children in School : Numerous studies available show children who play an instrument, score higher on both standard and spatial cognitive development tests alike. Findings show that kids who play  piano, in particular, scored higher in math, especially on problems dealing with ratios and fractions.

Increases Coordination : Keyboard requires both hands to work independently of each other, one moving fast while the other may be moving at a slower rate. All of these things help to increase a child’s overall dexterity and complex thought processes.

Helps to Concentrate : Reading a piece of music takes a great deal of focus, causing a child to interpret a note and a rhythm, translate it into hand movements on the keyboard and then immediately go on to the next one. This allows them to think both critically and creatively, which is a skill that will assist them in anything they choose to undertake in the future.

Helps Children to be Well-Rounded : Regardless of whether a child plays the piano for a short time or for a lifetime, the long-term affects of their piano pursuance are many. Through playing the piano, children are exposed to classical music that they may otherwise have never heard. Kids may develop an appreciation for composers like Bach or Mozart that stay with them for life.

In addition, the skills and knowledge they learn in piano may help them easily pick up another musical instrument later.
