Concentration

Concentration is that essential quality that allows a child to remember what he reads, hears and sees. Concentration is inner strength. Persistence. Attention to detail. Exercising the mind. Setting goals. Achieving them.

Defining concentration is simple. But learning how to harness its vast power is hard. It takes dedication and the will to learn. But it's worth it. Because the ability to concentrate can mean the difference between success and failure. And the sooner concentration becomes entrenched in a child's life, the better.

There's no better way to instill the positive traits that concentration brings than with piano lessons. Studying piano requires the utmost concentration. A child must focus on tones and rhythms. It takes continuous and strict attention to the task at hand. As a child develops at the piano, so does his or her ability to concentrate.

In studying piano, a child learns to read two lines of music, use both ears, both arms, fingers, legs and feet, with the brain giving each organ a different assignment to perform simultaneously. No other activity allows a child to exercise all these skills in such a constructive manner.

When a child gains the ability to concentrate early on in life, many long-term benefits accrue. The child's grades improve. There is a feeling of accomplishment and self worth. A new found confidence carries over into better social interaction. A child learns discipline and the benefits of working toward a goal. Taken all together, piano lessons are a form of concentration that gives a child a head start in school, and in life.

Concentration is a must if a child is to attain his or her highest levels of achievement. And there's no better way for a child to develop concentration than by learning to play the piano.
