Music lessons provide children with important developmental benefits beyond simply the knowledge or skill of playing a musical instrument. Musical lessons may enhance intelligence and academic achievement, build self-esteem, and improve discipline.

Music education is also important because it will give students a way to connect with other people. Playing music as an adult and child activates several areas of the brain at once, helping to maintain its strength and exercises your joints, helping to keep them flexible, and reduce the risk of arthritis and will also help keep your memory sharp, as you gain new skills.
