The Surprising Benefits of Music Lessons: Going Beyond the Music

Whether you realize it or not, you need an escape from the real world to discover and embrace your creative outlet. Taking some time to listen, learn, and play music can go a long way in improving yourself in ways you would never expect.

Music has been known to help with de-stressing and unwinding – but learning music also helps you work towards your personal growth. There are tons of music-related benefits you get out of taking lessons and building your artistry, however, some of the greatest benefits that come from music lessons have nothing to do with music-making at all. 

Music lessons give you the chance to improve skills that you can use outside of music and help you grow as an individual. Confidence, creative expression, abstract thinking — just to name a few. Music lessons have the unique ability to allow you to strengthen these skills in a fun, creative, and engaging way.

Here at Shock City School of Music, we tailor lessons to your ultimate goals as a musician no matter the age or ability. While working on technique, sight reading, performance training, etc., there is special non-music related growth happening simultaneously. Learning music helps you build confidence, keep yourself accountable, practice your time management, and ultimately help you grow as an individual through personal and emotional growth. It has an effect on so many things you would never even think about, but that is the true beauty and benefit of learning music.

You truly have the chance to discover yourself through this amazing creative outlet, and that’s what we find most important.

You deserve it. Take that next step in starting your music journey.
