Our teachers come from a variety of backgrounds in their profession and are trained to give each student what they need to help them succeed on their instrument of choice. The teachers run through the basics of music theory with each student, teaching them the note names and fingerings and eventually delving into why each chord works together and the roadmap of the music. This helps the student understand the piece they are playing as a whole and better understand their own instrument.
Students who take music lessons have also been shown to have memory skills and brain development within a year. Music improves hand/eye coordination and improves small motor skills in young children. Music also stimulates the mind and allows young students to be curious about the world and eager to learn from it. By enrolling in lessons, you might see a decrease in your stress levels as it decreases anxiety and helps you with depression, as well as learning discipline and patience in learning a new instrument. It creates empathy as you learn to seek emotion in music and understand the mood of certain pieces.
Music is also a natural energizer. Studies have shown that if you listen to music while running, you are more likely to focus more on the music than on what you are doing and able to go further and for longer periods of time. It has also been shown to decrease the amount of calorie intake if you listen to music while eating. So, music can essentially help you lose weight as well.
These are just a few of the things that learning an instrument can do to help benefit you. Join us for music lessons at OSMD and see all the benefits for yourself! Or call us at 402-515-9639
