Piano Lessons are Good for You

There are tons of memes about the benefits of music out there on Facebook, Pinterest, and Twitter. Some of them have beautiful pictures of music floating through space, others contain inspirational quotes by famous composers, and many have short statements about the advantages that music students gain from hours of practicing and performing. (… and many of my students know – I appreciate a good music meme!)

Here’s something that I found even more interesting than a beautifully crafted music meme. The good folks at Encore Music Lessons put together a fantastic infographic about the benefits specific to students who study piano. Playing the piano is a very intricate craft, and any student who has taken lessons for even a short amount of time knows that it can be very challenging to coordinate everything all at once!
