Giving the Gift of Music this Holiday Season

“Music is a Major Gift That Keeps on Giving!”
— Kathy McClary

Are you looking for the perfect gift to give to that creative person in your life? A gift that is so unique that it will benefit someone for years to come? Sometimes it's the presents that don't require wrapping that become the most life-changing and meaningful. 

Music Builds Individuality and Character 

The self-confidence and self-mastery skills that come from learning how to sing or play a musical instrument are phenomenal. Daily practice builds self-discipline, focus, listening skills, and a lifetime connection to a sense of emotional well-being. 

As the Holidays approach and our schedules become busier, we start to look for that perfect, as well as a unique and different gift that will be remembered for years to come. 

Instead of purchasing something that will be put on the shelf and forgotten, give them the gift of music! Something they will enjoy for months, even years to come. 

Music Lessons Make Us Smarter 

Research shows that our life experiences provide more happiness than our possessions do. Playing an instrument stimulates the brain, improves coordination, and studies have shown that those who have engaged in some form of music lessons can make you smarter. 

Recently it has been shown that music education has affected high school students' SAT scores! A study of 500 highs school students revealed that those engaged in some music lesson or training scored 57 points higher in verbal comprehension and 41 points higher in math in their exams. Those stats may have you thinking more seriously about giving music lessons. 

Music Lasts a Lifetime 

We have many adult students who are now signing up to take lessons. More and more, they see the value of what music brings to their lives. Many say "they wished they had continued lessons into their teen and adult years." or they "wish they had simply started lessons as a child." 

Other studies have shown that adults who took music lessons as a child have been shown to have faster response times and increased emotional awareness throughout their lives. 

And since you can play music throughout your lifetime, gifting music lessons is an excellent gift for anyone, at any age. Which gift on your list has been proven to provide all of that? 

Lessons are Fun and Enjoyable 

Besides the educational benefits, music lessons are an enjoyable and constructive way for an individual of any age to spend their time. With its range of sounds, variety of instruments, and compelling elements, it's virtually impossible not to like music. Giving the gift of music will pave the way for anyone on your gift list to learn a brand new skill. So, what are you waiting for? Cross that gift off your Christmas list and purchase music lessons or a recording studio session for that unique and creative person in your life. Sign up today!
