| Many parents want their children to be standout musicians. Some enroll their kids in music lessons as early as three years old, jumping at the first indication that little Johnny or Jill is interested in a piano or guitar. Other parents wait until mandatory music class in elementary school, seeing how well their child does at learning half notes and simple songs. But what if a child shows little or no interest in music? Should parents push for their children to take music lessons? It's important to consider a couple of things. First, children should be exposed to a variety of interests; art, sports, history, science, reading and music. If a child is only exposed to baseball, for example, he or she may be missing out on something else that may be better suited for him or her. For this reason, it's important that parents and family expose the child to a variety of activities. Second, over and over you hear adults say that they wish that their parents had enrolled them in music lessons. Adults see an accomplished pianist, for example, and wish they could posess those same skills, but never had the chance in their childhood. Since the initial push to take lessons is what it may take for a child to excel in music, it's important for parents to at least make an effort. But what if once a child enrolls in music lessons- whether it be piano, guitar, voice, trumpet or drums- he or she hates it? How many months of lessons should be taken if the child seems disinterested or bored? According to many music teachers, lessons should be taken for at least a whole year. It generally takes several months for a beginning student to learn the basics, and quitting before this point doesn't give a child proper time to reap the benefits of his or her learning. Most importantly, it's important to introduce music classes as something fun, not something mandatory or overly serious. Music is fun, and music can be fun to learn for children, depending on how it's presented and how it's taught. Search out a teacher who makes lessons fun, take interest in what your child is learning and positively encourage them. If the parent takes no interest in the child's learning, why should he or she? | ||
