Why are music lessons important?

Playing a musical instrument develops a multitude of important life skills that will help your child achieve success in many non-musical areas - it has been proved that children who play musical instruments generally do better in academic exams than their non-musical peers and this has been attributed to the increased concentration, organizational and creative skills as well as increased self-esteem and confidence developed through learning a musical instrument.

Successful learning of an instrument includes many factors; practice, parental support, and enthusiasm all help! Good quality tuition is important in helping your child enjoy their musical journey and improve their skills.

Reading music

Do I need to be able to read music?

Learning to read music can offer an extended range of opportunities. If your child wants to join a band or ensemble and/or progress through the grading system this will be a requirement and will be covered as part of their tuition.

The ability to be creative and improvise is also a great asset and can be musically rewarding.
