      A Note From Marty

      Music Lessons Are Not Really

      About Music

      Taking music lessons involves much more than learning to read sheet music, understanding finger placement, and refining your appreciation for sound. Music lessons provide invaluable skills that can help a student’s personal, social, and academic development. A student of music can foster and develop an appreciation for being creative, confident, and persistent in their efforts to improve upon a new ambition.

      Humankind has always been interested in music, even when instruments were rare and rudimentary. Music is an essential part of life that unfailingly brings us joy and elevates our spirit. In a cultural and societal sense, music is ingrained in our everyday lives. Music is a fundamental part of religious ceremonies, sporting events, and cultural festivals. It is played in coffee shops and restaurants as a soothing accompaniment to our conversations. It’s an inescapable and joyous aspect of our world that is woven into our daily activities and heritage.

      Since the dawn of time, music has been a vital part of the human experience. It has united people, brought about peace, and spread happiness. Music is appreciated by listeners in a variety of ways—intellectually, consciously, and spiritually. Certain songs or music styles can even work to transport a person’s mind to a different time or place in their life. Music is representative of certain generations, parts of the world, and historical events. Music is a fundamental component of the human experience that expresses our intelligence, imagination, and desires.

      Music lessons provide a platform for children, teens, and adults to set goals and watch them unfurl in front of their eyes. The skills learned in a music lesson or during a recital are applicable outside of the realm of just music. For example, if a student takes voice lessons, they’re working to improve their tone of voice; this will, in turn, make them more confident and direct speakers in the classroom or at work. Music schools are positive and uplifting environments for students that nurture personal development. A young guitar student who sits in a mentoring session for 30 minutes will not only progress in her musical abilities, but she will also develop other essential skills, such as her attention span and practice habits. Music lessons teach students the value of completing a task once it is started. The process of following through on an entire process is a valuable skill that helps mold a student into a successful and motivated person later in life.

      I have written this book for parents and prospective adult students to demonstrate what my 25 years of teaching music have shown me as an educator. If you are picking up this book, you may already be curious about putting your child in music lessons. This book will delve into my insights on music lessons as a decade-long school and academy owner. I hope that in sharing the remarkable transformations I have seen in students over the years, you will feel inspired to allow your child to pursue their own musical journey. This book is designed to help you become more educated in the process of enrolling your child in music lessons and the evolution you can expect to see in your child. I hope that you will develop an awareness of how music lessons can improve your child’s life and a desire to become involved in seeing your child cultivate a new hobby.

      Whether you’re looking to learn more about the process for a child, friend, or family member, my primary goal is to demystify the world of music. The information and anecdotes in this book are included to eliminate your fears, answer your questions, and alleviate any hesitation you may have in jumping into the process of beginning music lessons. This book will reveal the real-life benefits that music can have in you and your child’s lives. I will explain how music schools are excellent institutions for developing personal growth and challenging oneself.

      You Are Their Greatest Teacher

      (What You Can Do at Home) 

      Nobody spends more time with a child than their parents or caretakers. For this reason, a child’s first teachers are their parents, because they instill morals and provide guidance in the child’s early life. Just like teaching a child to read or write, playing music in the home can have a positive impact on the development of your young one. I think it is essential to frequently play music in the home because it can spark a child’s curiosity and, naturally, is a great source of entertainment.

      There are a variety of simple ways that you can incorporate music into your daily routine. Just as many parents have dedicated story time with their young ones, playing music can (and should) become a regular part of your day. By turning on the radio, a music channel on TV, playing music on your computer, or even singing songs yourself, you can engage with your child in new and exciting ways. I encourage parents to
