Music lessons are better than Therapy!

Starting at the age of 8, I went to piano lessons every week and talked my piano teacher’s ear off! I excitedly filled her in on my life and everything I did the past week. As an adult looking back, I realize what an amazing gift she gave me! She listened. Every week I had focused attention from an adult who listened to my stories and

responded with kindness. She also tried to teach me to play the piano. Whenever I had the motivation to reach a goal in piano, she was right there to help me reach it. At times when I wasn’t really practicing, she was patient and tried to help me find music I was interested in. She was a great teacher!

That’s why I often say that private music lessons are affordable and very effective therapy! It’s a joke, and yet I am also being serious. Private lessons are much less expensive than therapy and such a gift! At a private piano, voice, or guitar lesson, the student has uninterrupted one-on-one time with an awesome adult who is focused on helping them learn a new skill. The teacher builds a relationship with the student AND helps them improve a very useful skill. The student then goes home and uses that skill to express themself through the language of music. What a beautiful process!

For parents looking for piano lessons, voice lessons, or guitar lessons in Provo, Utah, private lessons can provide children with more than just musical instruction. They give kids the opportunity to build confidence, develop meaningful relationships with their teacher, and have a consistent time each week to focus on something they enjoy.
