Kids and Music

Drum lessons for children.

Introducing kids to music is a lot easier than you might think. 

Kids begin to experience the sounds and rhythms of the world from an early age and as parents and teachers, we must recognize and use this opportunity to introduce them to music by creating a positive and fun environment where they can freely experience and explore music in the way they are most comfortable.

  • Research has shown that music stimulates certain parts of the brain and helps children grow smarter, more focused, and are more likely to succeed in school.
  • Through music, children begin to develop their memory and work ethic. They learn how to listen and how to approach a new skill as well as develop healthy and positive self-esteem as they get better at the instrument they are learning.
  • Music is probably one of the best ways for self-expression and an invaluable outlet for emotions and feelings we experience in our everyday lives.

With time kids begin to recognize and respond to certain sounds and rhythms as they experience a different range of emotions. When a kid associates a sound with a happy and positive feeling, it is only natural that they will want to do it over and over again...like hitting a drum or banging on a bucket with a stick...;-) That amazing experience would be something kids will never forget. That's why creating an opportunity for them to have fun and play the drums is a great way to introduce them to music. So help your kids explore their musical curiosity and you'll be opening the door to a whole new world of possibilities for them. Music is the gift that keeps on giving and helping your kids build the confidence to learn and grow is the best gift a parent can give.


Teaching music to young children.

Sometimes kids may seem bored and indifferent to music. This is not uncommon, especially if music hasn't been presented to them in a way they can relate and enjoy yet. Recognizing that the time is not right or that the teacher is not connecting, can save your child a lifetime of resentment towards music. Having patience and understanding 

Sometimes kids may seem bored and indifferent to music. This is not uncommon, especially if music hasn't been presented to them in a way they can relate and enjoy yet. Recognizing that the time is not right or that the teacher is not connecting, can save your child a lifetime of resentment towards music. Having patience and understanding is essential if kids are to experience the benefits of music. Music should be introduced at the right time and your child is the one who knows best when that time is for them. Age is helpful to determine how we approach introducing the child to music, but it doesn't help us know if they are ready to learn about music. Here are some ideas:

  • Singing to your child is a great way to have them experience music. As they grow older teach them those very same songs and sing them together.
  • Dance with them and teach them how to move their hands and feet with the rhythm of the music. Kids love that one.
  • Bring them to a music store and let them see all the different instruments. Allow them to touch and play the instruments as you are making sure nothing gets damaged.
  • Help them be creative by making songs. Then remember to have them name the song so latter it will be easier to recall.
  • Let them pick the instrument they want to play and if they change their mind later on you should find out the reason, but no matter what always support their decision.
  • Take them to see live music if possible and make sure they have ear protection (earplugs). Nothing is like seeing people perform live music.
  • If they show interest, sign them up for lessons. At the beginning is always good to sit in at the lessons, so you can make sure the teacher is connecting with your child and their approach is working. If your kid is not having fun learning and there is no progress, keep looking for a teacher that can connect and help with your kid learning.
