Reasons why your child should learn to play a Musical Instrument

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe and join the tribe. Thanks for visiting!

Gift giving is a fun time and you may be looking for a wonderful gift for your children or your favorite family members. If you don’t know where to start, let me remind you that learning experience and educational gifts are always better than simple toys. The best gifts for children are those that enrich their minds and help them learn the skills they will need as adults.

*I was gifted a Loog Guitar to facilitate my review. This post contains affiliate links.

Why your child should learn to play a Musical Instrument

There are so many benefits for a child that learns to play a musical instrument. Playing a musical instrument brain boosting and helps with other subjects in school.

Playing a musical instrument improves math and reading comprehension

Mathematics and music are closely connected. Musical notes teach pattern recognition and rhythm and beats are counting and fractions.  Learning to read music and understanding the notes to be played and for how long is a great way to build reading comprehension skills.

Playing a musical instrument builds listening skills and focus

Building focus in young kids is a very important skill. Learning to play an instrument requires dedication and focus, and really flexes that muscle. Listening skills are built by following directions from the teacher (via in person or app) and listening to the pitch of the music as well as rhythm.


Playing a musical instrument works on memory and coordination

Music is a fabulous brain workout that helps children learn to create and retrieve memories as they practice the instrument. Instruments are also a great way to build bilateral coordination, using both hands to play the instrument, such as a guitar, and also reading music or watching lessons.

Playing a musical instrument teaches perseverance and self-expression

Learning to play an instrument challenges children to overcome the “it’s too hard” attitude and keep trying. A child can learn to set short-term and long-term goals between learning how to play a certain note to learning an entire song.  Music gives them the opportunity to express their feelings creatively in a fun and safe way.

Try Loog Guitars

Giving a child the gift of learning to play a real musical instrument is priceless! Check out Loog Guitars and let your preschooler learn to legit play music on one of these great little guitars. They have preschoolers and bigger kid size guitars. How exciting!

Loog comes with an app with videos teaching the basics from how to tune your guitar, to lessons for each note, to playing a song. The app also listens to you play and gives feedback. It’s like having a music teacher in your home.

The guitar we received is a 3-string, which helps teach the basics of string instruments by simplifying the process. This is not a toy, but a true wooden guitar with actual strings. There is nothing that plays music by pressing a button, so this is a great way to show kids that they can make the magic of music themselves without relying on a toy.


Now you can get 10% off all Loog Guitars and Accessories using code: LOOG10 through the end of the year – Plus FREE Shipping on orders of $90 or more!

    As someone who grew up learning the piano, violin and flute I couldn’t agree with all of this more! I teach the piano to my daughter when I can but it’s not regular enough!

    Growing up, I played piano and drums and it helped me so much with confidence and really fostered creativity in me so I definitely agree with all your points. Thanks so much for sharing!
