Benefits of Music Lessons for Children (5-19)

image

“Music heals the soul” we’ve all heard and experienced at some point in our life. It has the power to make you feel deeply, to make yourself feel understood even if it’s just within the lyrics, to express yourself. Did you know that Music can be much more than that? It’s show that music lessons can help your child in school as well.

Music has a way of enhancing what your child learns in other subjects (not just music) and helping them retain that information. Children taking music lessons have to use their eyes, ears, and small and large muscles as well. This helps the brain develop more neural (learning) activity than those that don’t take music lessons.

The benefits of taking music lessons are simply amazing!Keeping up a steady practice schedule instills great discipline and work ethic in kids, teaching them to work hard and be patient.Playing an instrument improves hand-eye coordination and nuanced muscle control. Children who grow up around music show more advanced language development, even at 2 years old, than children who don’t.
Take lessons is a website that connects your child with a teacher within your area based on either the instrument or subject that they’d like to learn. They are an amazing place to start your child’s music journey. They do extensive background checks on all the teachers, so that isn’t something that you need to worry about. They aren’t going to reference you to someone who “think” they should be qualified at teaching a certain subject or instrument. Take lessons make sure they DO know.

I was very impressed with the variety of lessons they offer. They aren’t just giving your child the opportunity to learn music but well beyond that. Music recording lessons, Speaking voice lessons, dance lessons, Songwriting lessons, and so much more. SO, no matter what your child is interested in, they will definitely have it and be able to point you in the right direction.

Being creative with music builds your child’s mind to want to do other creative, smart, great things. This will lead them to be creative and bright kids because education in music and the arts helps children learn to think about problems creatively, finding multiple solutions to problems. Learning music improves a child’s ability to focus, which can lead to better studying and higher test scores.They look at everything so differently. Learning music helps children focus and actually retain so much more than non-creative types!

Not only does learning music boost their self esteem and confidence levels, but it helps them get rid of stage fright. Kids who study music and the arts are more likely to graduate from high school and are less likely to abuse drugs and alcohol, which is another amazing thing! If they have something to stand for, they are less likely to fall into peer pressure!

Fun Way to Stop Summer Learning Loss for K-2nd Grade: PowerMyLearning

image

Summer is has been in FULL summer mode for awhile now. Relaxing, hanging out, and swimming is ALL that has been crossing my kids minds. It’s been really REALLY hot this summer.. can you say HUMID?

Have you ever heard OR experienced summer slide? Where you forget stuff you learned the previous year DURING the summer? Kids who do not continue with educational activities over the summer tend to lose an average of 2.6 months of academic growth, that’s a LOT!

PowerMyLearning is here to help you and your kids prevent that Summer Slide in a very fun and interactive way! PowerMyLearning is an absolutely free website with everything your K-2nd grader needs to stay at their learning level (and go even further if they wanted).

My son had a blast because it consisted of FUN. It is like playing a game to him, he  doesn’t “look” at it like a learning experience. He just thinks he is playing (and he is), but it’s purely educational as well. It’s an amazing concept, integrating learning through fun. This is how I teach my kids anyway. If they feel FORCED to stare at a page, they’ll get bored. Why not make it fun so they remember?

it’s really cool because you can add as many children (when you sign up as a parent) as you want. It’s awesome that within 1 second you can link their school by searching your zip code! Of course, my daughter is only in preschool—so maybe I’ll sign her up next year (or this year if she does well). She’s a fast learner.

We were basically focusing on the Math programs. Aidan did really good this year with his letters, learning sounds of the letters.  He can count to 100 but he has trouble adding and subtracting. With PowerMyLearning, he gets to choose which activity he likes and collect points when he finishes those activities!

There are tons of games to choose from. Here are some he played and really enjoyed!

Kids Adding Objects ~ Time to practice addition!
