Benefits of Leaning the Violin for Children   (and everyone else)

1. Coordination

    Learning how to play violin will enhance the co-ordination skills of your child.

    Co-ordination between the left and right hands are required to play the violin successfully.  The left hand learns how to finger the strings while at the same time the right hand will learn how to bow the strings the correct way to produce the right sounding tone and pitch.

    The development of this skill will greatly add to the child’s left brain, right brain functioning.



2. Logic & Reasoning

       While learning violin, your children learn to stretch their thinking capacity.  

       In a multi-tasking activity like playing the violin the level of neuron and brain cell connections lends itself to development of intelligence and reasoning processes.


3. Confidence.       

       Building your child’s confidence is a valuable benefit to learning violin.

       The satisfaction and sense of accomplishment your child will experience will boost his/her confidence to such a level that it will overflow into other areas of life.

       Should they take their playing to the next level and start to play in front of others, either as part of a group or solo, they will gain invaluable presentation skills and avoid suffering from public speaking anxiety or stage fright later in life. 
      
       Whether the audience be family or a large paying audience your child will have the confidence to play.


4. Perseverance.

    One of the many valuable traits to develop in a child is perseverance.  
 
    Perseverance means not giving up in the face of difficulty. In learning violin children will often feel that he/she is not getting anywhere.

    However, with encouragement and support they will begin to understand what it means to persevere and overcome.


    These are excellent life skills to learn and develop!
