There is probably no single ‘life skill’ that is more satisfying than being able to play an instrument well. As a parent, your decision to support your child’s musical development is one of the greatest gifts that you can give.

There are many benefits to learning to play piano. Several studies have been done on children who play a musical instrument versus those that don’t. In short, there is considerable evidence that learning an instrument accelerates early child cognitive development.

Music is a unique language that speaks to people of all ages. To be able to communicate with a crowd and give a personal interpretation of a piece of music is a wonderful talent to have.

Advantages of learning piano

As a parent, it is sometimes difficult to guide your children towards positive activities that will help them navigate life and to become better people. The world is full of adults who wish that they had been encouraged to learn piano as a child.

There is a wealth of evidence that suggests it is much easier to learn an instrument when you are young. Playing piano from an early age will have a positive effect on your child’s mental and physical growth and enrich their life in a number of areas.

The benefits of playing piano for children

The piano is an almost limitless avenue for creativity and imagination. It allows your child to not only learn other people’s music, but to develop their own ideas and compositions. In the right environment, piano practice is equal parts entertainment and fun as it is intellectual and educational growth.

“I think music in itself is healing. It’s an explosive expression of humanity. It’s something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we’re from, everyone loves music.”

What age can my child learn piano?

Recently, we asked Yumi Sasada this question. As an experienced trainer of piano teachers and the owner of a piano school, Ms Sasada explained that every child is different and that there are several determining factors to be considered.

"Many children begin taking piano lessons at kindergarten age and some begin even earlier! Faculties that develop by leaps and bounds when a child is still very young include hearing, memory, judgment, recognition and thinking ability."
