Embrace the power of song and music. There are many ways in which to learn how to express yourself – and song and music is one of these ways. Whether you write music or sing or play a musical instrument, you can change not only your life but the lives of those around you.
Learning how to play a musical instrument and writing music is a talent. It is a very difficult art to master, but it can be very fulfilling once you’ve mastered it. Even if you have been blessed with natural musical talent, conquering song and music, does require time and effort. If you have shown a keen interest in song, music, dance and performance than you need to pursue it. One of the best ways to pursue all of these elements is by taking lessons. These lessons can be part time or full time. In fact there are some schools that are dedicated to teaching song, music, dance and performance.
Learning any one of these creative art forms is beneficial to every child. All of them will help build confidence within the child and will stand them in good stead for the rest of their life. It is extremely important to provide your child with both practical and theoretical knowledge on their chosen subject. Children can often get very excited about learning a musical instrument but do not have the patience to stick to it, which is why you should provide them with tuition to keep them structured.
If your child does want to learn a musical instrument it is a good idea to keep them focused on one genre to begin with. Once they have mastered that genre, they can move onto another. Some of the genres they can learn include:
- Jazz
- Rock
- Classical
- Folk
- Pop
- Reggae
The proof is in the pudding
There are a number of exams that your child can do in order to improve their skills. It is extremely important for them to get involved in exams so that they can see where they need to improve. On top of that they will be awarded with a certificate stating whether they received a Pass, Merit and Distinction. Some of these exams are internationally recognized and will look good if they decide to apply to do song, dance, music or drama at a higher learning level. One of the best exams to complete is the Trinity exams. These exams are recognized all over the world.
