What's in it For Me?
Why study the piano?
The study of piano and music in general has been of immeasurable benefit to me. When I started piano lessons in 1969, I had no idea that through the study of music and the piano I would find my life’s work, my passion, and a way to make a difference in countless peoples’ lives.
Now I realize that not everyone who studies music will make it his or her vocation, but there are still numerous reasons for any person to learn the piano.
Here are some (not all) good reasons for learning music. For most folks, “learning music” involves studying the piano. The piano helps form the foundation for almost all the different music styles of our culture, such as classical, folk, rock, pop, gospel, country, etc.
I’ve loosely grouped the reasons under these headings:
1. Music brings people together
2. Music can elevate your mood
3. Music can make you smarter
Under each of these heading are several reasons for studying music.
In the coming days I’ll talk a little bit about each one of these.
Come back tomorrow!
If it sounds good, it is good!
