why don’t more parents encourage (make) their kids take piano lessons?
the Asian community knows how beneficial piano lessons are in greatly enhancing coordination, improving math scores, and literally bridging the two brain hemispheres together in a way that most other instruments cannot.
video games are fun, but come on…
sports are fun now, but quickly fade after highschool. piano is a gift that lasts a lifetime.
kids do not always “want” to go to school, but we must “insist” that they go for their own good.
the same is true of learning the piano – is it not?

I want to learn, I think it is neat to watch people play. I just saw Justin Timberlake on Oprah and he was playing the piano. I didn’t know he could!
–I didn’t know it had to many beneficial affects!~!~
It just depends on the parents,I won’t force my kids into stuff they don’t want to do,I want my kids to have there dreams come true not mine
Because in Asia education is like top priority, where in America, most parents would be happy with a kid with decent or average grades and is good at sports.
I played piano since I was six (21 now) and I went to gifted school and was really excelled. I think its just a culture thing.
Have I missed something here,since when has the piano been compulsory ?
Because the average U.S couple has enough troubles keeping their collective heads above water as is. Times are not as great as they use to be. They work longer hours. Deal with longer commutes. And have more issues with keeping their kids safe. The cost of piano lessons, and performing more commutes doesn’t help either. Probably more importantly, our culture doesn’t help. I don’t think education is as a big priority anymore. The last time i checked, when it comes to believing in Evolution the U.S. ranks down on the list, with middle east countries.
because they did not know the things that you know.
if they do then i think they will.
GOOD QUESTION
YES , IT IS TRUE OF THE PIANIO
DID YOU KNOW A CHILDS IQ IS RAISED BY AT LEAST 10 POINTS WHEN THEY PLAY A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT?
IT IS THE PARENTS THAT NEED THE TRAINING TO GET THE KIDS TO PRACTICE.
WISH THEY ALL WOULD LEARN TO PLAY. THE SCHOOL USED TO GIVE LESSONS FREE IN BAND…MAYBE SOME PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY FOR LESSONS
