My daughter has always loved music. She was actually singing songs before she could even talk. It’s amazing how much music has helped shaped her into the young lady she is becoming. She is always finding ways to incorporate singing and playing instruments into her play time. Everything can be turned into a song, or a performance.

How Music Can Help Your Child Develop and Grow
Since music is such a big deal in our home, I wanted to share with you how music can help your child develop and grow. I took music lessons as a child and truly believe that music lessons are one of the keys to helping children develop musically and in many other areas of development.
How Your Child Can Find Joy And Success With Music
Music gives children potential
It has been awesome to see my daughter develop through music. There is no doubt in my mind that further music lessons will offer her benefits in the areas of intellectual, social, and creative potential. I love seeing the potential my daughter has thanks to her love for music. Maybe she will join an orchestra, or start a band, her options are unlimited.
Improved language abilities and emotional development
As I mentioned, my daughter could sing before she could talk. Music lessons help children develop in so many ways, including in their language skills. I have also read that music education and/or lessons offer increased emotional resilience. Children can also have increased attention span and focus. Your child can also gain a lot of self-confidence from music education.
Improved IQ and academic performance
I look forward to the many years to come of watching my daughter’s IQ and academic performance improve. Many researchers have actually linked music lessons with improved IQ and academic performance. You can actually check out an entire study from The Royal Conservatory. It’s titled: The Benefits of Music Education: An Overview.
Check out the Royal Conservatory
As a child, I took Royal Conservatory Piano lessons. My teacher was incredible. She was an amazing pianist and an excellent teacher. We still stay in touch today. There was no need to convince me that Royal Conservatory is the best choice for our family. But with technological advances, navigating my way around arranging these for my daughter is even easier than I expected.
Because I took Royal Conservatory lessons, I know a bit about the program. But to refresh my memory, I checked out the Royal Conservatory website, and I learned a ton. You can actually check out the National Music Teacher Directory to see who is available in your area. Whether you want piano, voice, instrument lessons, or music theory The National Music Teacher Directory has you covered. You get to choose the distance you are willing to travel and what discipline you want your child to study. Once you have found a teacher that meets these requirements, you and your child can arrange to meet them and see if they would be a good fit.
Music lessons create a wonderful future for our children. I look forward to watching the growth and development of my daughter as she progresses through her music education. I also love that I can help develop my child’s love for music with the help of these resources.
Do you plan on doing private music lessons with your child? Why or why not?
That photo at the top of your post is adorable! 🙂 My daughters have been taking piano lessons for a few years & we love it!
I love this! My 9 year old LOVES music. She is always singing. She wants to take piano lessons and I told her that I would sign her up next year.
I’m no fabulous musician, but I loved playing the violin through school, and into college. I still pick it up occasionally. Music is a fabulous pursuit that can teach SO much!
I really have been wanting to get my kiddos into music. My son has been interested in the guitar!
I wish that I had taken music lessons when I was young. Unfortunately, I did not and neither did my children.
Both of my boys attended toddler music school and loved it. I absolutely see value in music.
I really want to put my boys in some sort of music lessons but they aren’t too interested in them at the moment. They like listening to music and singing along though so I hope one day they’ll be more interested because music lessons are so beneficial. Thanks for sharing this resource!
I agree! We took my son to music classes at the library when he was a toddler and we plan on doing the same with our new little one.
When I have kids, I want them to have music lessons. Both my husband and I are very much into music of all genres. We both played in band and know the value of music in a child’s life. I love this resource that finds instruction prior to being school age, plus private music lessons are great to develop talent!
My son has been in band for 6 years and i am so impressed with the confidence he has gained. He is focus, social and more ware of things.
I fully believe and have seen the difference music can make in a child’s life. I will definitely have to look into Royal Conservatory, I have never heard of them.
Music is such a wonderful thing and I am absolutely amazed with the opportunities kids have these days
I do agree that music is an amazing thing for kids. I have been wanting to enroll my son in lessons for awhile now.
While I haven’t put them in private lessons, I have encouraged my children to take up an instrument and they really enjoy it. One of my daughters place for clarinet and the other, violin.
