In times when children are made to engage in several extra-curricula activities(or in an extreme case-none at all for the sake of good grades), this is what one piano teacher has to say, The Truth About Piano Lessons.......

Benefits of Music Education

We all know the benefits of music education: the improved test scores, the correlation with less drug and alcohol abuse, the benefits of learning to be part of an ensemble and stick with a challenge. Music is one of the most powerful expressive forms we have in our lives. How powerful? Playing music (not just listening to it) is used to treat neurological problems, to heal people who have had strokes, to slow down the progression of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.

Musician's brains -- as measured by MRIs -- actually work differently than the brains of non-musicians. We (musicians) develop pathways that you don't, which help us make other connections. The ability to play an instrument, particularly a complex instrument like piano, has been linked to less dementia in old age, better cognitive skills, and faster healing from traumatic brain injuries.

Not to mention the sheer joy of it. How many adults do you know who say "I wish my mother hadn't let me quit." You may be one of them.

TO PARENTS OF ALL PIANO STUDENTS:

And here's a note for piano parents who aren't necessarily musicians themselves: One sure-fire way to tell if your kid is practicing correctly is to notice whether he or she keeps playing the piece over and over from beginning to end. That's the WRONG way to practice. I tell my kids they can start with one play-through, during which they should note the problem areas. Then they need to get to work on those by practicing small sections over and over. They can finish with another run-through. But to just keep repeating a piece, complete with all the same mistakes, is ineffective and pointless.
