There is an excellent article that I’ve found sharing The Top 10 Skills Children Learn from the Arts.  Lisa Phillips gives insight as to how music lessons don’t just help our children learn an instrument, but help to teach other skills as well.

Creativity
Confidence
Problem Solving
Perseverance
Focus
Non-Verbal Communication
Receiving Constructive Feedback
Collaboration
Dedication
Accountability

Check out her article as I’m sure you’ve seen these added benefits in your children, but just didn’t realize how their music lessons had a part in helping them as they continue to develop these skills.
