Music and childhood

children-musicSince antiquity music has taken on an important role in society, being a way to relax, an abundance of feelings and poetry. There is almost no person in this world who has never listened to music. It is part of our lives, whether we are talking about weddings, baptisms, name days, parties or funeral rites, it practically accompanies us in every moment.

Lately, more and more parents guide their children to learning how to play a musical instrument. Even if they do not pursue a career in music, statistics show that a child who learns to play an instrument has a much higher school performance than those who do not.

In addition to the intellectual effort required by the job, experience is certainly needed because a child is not prepared for this. He or she cannot be expected to have an amount of knowledge and skills which he hasn’t had the time and opportunity to acquire yet.

But what is more important, beyond the compatibility which may be required between a job and a child’s profile, resides in the steps which are extremely necessary for the optimal development of a child.
