Why learn piano?
I encourage anyone who is interested in playing piano to pursue piano lessons! Among the very long list of benefits you gain from lessons, studying piano has been shown to dramatically improve skills in the areas of reading, math, memory, coordination, time management, and teaches students to become more detail oriented. Those students applying for admission into prestigious secondary schools or colleges are more likely to be accepted if the application is accompanied with a video of a recent piano performance (supplementary material). Last, and certainly not least, playing piano music from different musical genres nurtures our innate creativity, enriches our spirit, and is a much-needed outlet for self-expression!
