Scientific studies show that music education, particularly piano lessons, positively impacts math skills like pattern recognition and fractions and science skills like pitch, timbre and acoustics.
Music lessons require children to use problem-solving skills as they identify difficult sections in a piece of music and come up with tactics for playing their instruments well.
Most experts agree that getting children involved in some form of the arts can improve their self-esteem, help them make friends and most of all allow them to have fun.
