Children who learn to play the piano from a very young age make progress in reading. Playing the piano requires a reading of notes, keys, chords … which helps them acquire more vocabulary and a better reading comprehension. When studying piano you can play up to 10 notes at the same time with both hands, you learn to read in two keys, you learn to carry different rhythms in both hands … Consequently, different brain areas are stimulated that are not worked on in other activities. - Improves the ability to concentrate
Another very important aspect is that a child who learns to play the piano, learns discipline, perseverance, and develops his capacity for attention and concentration. Playing the piano is not achieved overnight, it is an apprenticeship that takes several years and brings many benefits that will help children develop a series of skills in the school environment. - Relax
