Did you know that Hockey Greats learn about past players, their stats and how they rose through the ranks, just like other sportsmen?

 

Did you know that politicians often look back and compare themselves to previous politicians and assess how well they are doing and what legacy they are leaving behind?

 

Ok, now you might be wondering where I’m going with all this. So please stay with me for just a few moments and I will let you know. 

 

In this post I will be talking to you about the reasons why your child must learn the History of Music. 

 

Role Models

Yes, politicians, sportsmen and even writers, actors and entrepreneurs, looking back and learning from those that walked the same path before them is very important. 

Doing so, helps them, to easily model their behaviour on ‘greats’ who walked the same path before them. 

In music, learning about the great composers and musicians throughout the ages will help your child to better understand and analyze music.

Thus, it will inspire his creations and help him further his musical education. 

 

Engagement

Research indicates that kids who learn about the great composers, learn to look at, copy, understand and analyze the music, learn about the history and geography and the things that inspired the composer and how it influenced his or her music. 

 

Learning Becomes More Interactive And Interesting

By learning about real people, their lives and how it all influenced their music, kids become more engaged, because the history of music doesn’t only pertain to music, but to other aspects of life. 

 

So, as you can see, not only does it help with musical learning but it also keeps them stay engaged in the long run. 

 

Did you know that all Teach Your Child Piano courses, includes History of Music lessons for the above reasons. 

 

Furthermore, the history of music is something that you can teach your children about in the comfort of your home and does not require you to hire a specific teacher.
