Beginners
Can playing music make my child smarter?
Yes. Studying an instrument involves mastering a wide range of skills and it requires concentration and regular study, comprehension and communication of sophisticated concepts.
Studying an instrument also stimulates fine motor control, breathing and memory and often requires regular one-on-one coaching or a very low teacher-to-pupil ration that is rarely experienced in normal schooling.
And that’s not all. Active music-making aids mental development and learning and it can even encourage a growing brain to physically alter its very structure. It builds essential social skills, helps people of all ages define their own identity, creates associations between groups and helps to forge links between people.
It creates great feelings of self-worth and can even have beneficial effects on health.

How you can read a book without understanding the meaning of the words.
Theory helps to understand better what you play or listen to.
It helps to play easier and finally it helps to create your own music, based on scales, chords, cadences, intervals and more.
