Why Should Kids Play Piano?

Read on to find out why kids should play piano and take Piano Lessons! Playing good music in my opinion is the ultimate live expression of one's inner soul and can be one of the most beautiful experiences a person can have in their life!

When a parent is considering getting their kids into music and having them play a musical instrument, especially a piano, the results can be most impressive and satisfying when your child is given strong, supportive parental support and they get a good music teacher combined with an effective lesson program.

Playing the piano as opposed to other instruments allows a person to play melody and harmony accompaniment which then allows for the playing of the entire song by one person so that nothing is left out of the song. Most other instruments allow for only separate melody, harmony, or bass...but not all at once like on a piano. Instruments that are more limited in that way are horns, woodwinds, percussion, many stringed instruments, and so on.

The piano is, in my opinion, by far the most expressive and musically full instrument a person can learn to play, and even a young child by age 3 or 4 can do it with the right instruction and input. The piano is also the easiest musical instrument to get music out of quickly...relative to other instruments and it is a great instrument to learn about music theory, music fundamentals, and musical technique.

Whether or not your child ever plays like a professional is not the point. The point is to give them the opportunity and to encourage them to do their best because at the end of the day, it's up to parents to provide the support, encouragement, and patience to see their children's lives changed in ways they never thought possible, and to bring joy to them through a personal connection with playing music. If you, as the parent, have never had the opportunity to personally connect with playing music yourself, then please do not withhold the opportunity from your children just because you did not have or want that same opportunity.

Whether your children play for fun, entertaining for an audience, or they play for you, playing piano is something that will be an amazing experience no matter what their skill level and musical accomplishments may be.
