piano lessons, music alternatives

[carol572]

Hello everyone.
I am a mother of two: a 7 year old girl and a 5 year old

boy. They both go to private schools where they do music.

Since I don't have a musical background, I am not quite

sure if it is important to also start them on piano lessons. I

would really appreciate some experienced advice as to

what you consider beneficial in taking piano lessons for

children.

Thank you so much for your time and input.

I think there is nothing wrong with piano lessons. As a matter of fact music can be a very good balance for their curricular activities. For as long as you do not force them to doing something they don’t like, there should not be any problem with their music lessons. Your kids are young and it will be nice to allow them to explore the innate skills that they possess and give them the chance to develop whatever talent that have.
