I don’t think there’s any parent in this world that wouldn’t like his child to succeed in school or life in general. I do realize that each kid is different and sometimes we just don’t think that our child will be next Einstein. Believe it or not Studies have concluded that there’s an answer to Your Prayers !

   The answer is Music Education ! Yes Music Education – Learning to play instrument to be precise. As simple as it may seem numerous studies show that children that play musical instruments (and kids piano is a great example) benefit tremendously from it.

     There is so much evidence and studies that prove Benefits of Children Music Education that countless books have been written. I will concisely explain You most important benefits and I’m not going to lie to You: I want You to buy Your child musical instrument (preferably kids piano). Think of it as an investment in You child’s future.

• Music Training improves kids memory  

   Young children who take music lessons show different brain development and improved memory over the course of a year compared to the children who did not receive musical training. The findings published September 20th 2006  ( Oxford University Press. “First Evidence That Musical Training Affects Brain Development In Young Children.” ScienceDaily, 20 Sep. 2006. ) show that after one year the musically trained children performed better in a memory test that is correlated with general intelligence skills such as literacy, verbal memory, visiospatial processing, mathematics and IQ.

•  Music Lessons enhance IQ

   In this study (University of Toronto , E. Glenn Schellenberg )  of control group of 144 6-year olds , kids that didn’t receive any lessons showed smallest increase of IQ in a year compared to those who took keyboard , voice or drama lessons ! Some might argue if music lessons enhance IQ or child gets smarter just by spending more time in school with teacher or instructor in small class or group but music lessons involve a multiplicity of experiences that could generate improvement in wide variety of abilities.

• Kids Score higher on SATs

   According to Texas Music Educators Association Year after Year students score higher on their SATs than State Average or National Average. It doesn’t matter if they participate in Mixed Choir , Philharmonic Orchestra or Symphony Orchestra they score higher every year.

• Geniuses Play Instruments

   You never know how Music Lesson will benefit Your child brain development. Maybe playing kids piano or violin will make him next Einstein (who played piano and violin) or Leonardo Da Vinci (who played the flute and the lyre )

   Are You serious about Your child future ? Kids musical instruments are not expensive and You should definitely treat it as an investment in Your child’s future success. One thing I can recommend is to start with mini piano and go from there. Please take a look at our list of Top Rated Best Selling Kids Pianos
