Music Education for Adults: Benefits of Going to a Kids Music School Rather Than Private Tuition

Music Education for Adults: Benefits of Going to a Kids Music School Rather Than Private Tuition

We spoke about the benefits of private music tutoring last

time. Now let us talk about benefits of learning at a kids

music school, where apart from individual tutoring, kids get

choir, ensemble and orchestra.

Any music school that has more than 20 music teachers is

quite a serious organization. They select the teachers

through a rigorous process, for the reputation of the music

school is at stake.

The year at a kids music school starts with planning the

choir, ensemble, orchestra and other group activities for

the year. History and music theory lessons follow and

finally one-to-one lessons are scheduled.

Children get to meet new people and make new friends of all

ages at the kids music school. Although sometimes it is

essential to attend the school every day, it is quite an

internally motivating thing for children. The company of

friends and healthy competition is an invisible source of

energy that continues throughout the schooling.

There is no doubt that a lot of private music teachers are

also good. But the fact remains that you can't have choir,

ensemble and orchestra with a single teacher. At most you

can play a duet, but what about group activities! Only at a

music school can you avail of such facilities that develop

the harmonic ear. Moreover, the group activities at the kids

music school help develop a sense of rhythm and tempo in the

child.

Theory is also of vital importance so that the child can

progress to complex lessons easily. Instruments like

metronome, although not recommended, need to be learned at

some point of time. Theory is something that can only be

taught at a music school by specialist teachers.

Just like a math teacher at public school cannot teach

anatomy in spite of the fact that he can read and write

something about the subject, a music teacher specializing in

one subject cannot teach other subjects effectively. If a

music teacher offers you several subjects to choose from,

like theory, voice, piano, guitar, etc., then you better

beware that he cannot do justice to all of those subjects

and he's not even qualified to teach more than one special

subject.

If you need evidence, just ask the teacher for his Diploma.

Although Canadians tend to take each other's word for

anything, don't be so careless about your child's musical

education.

This is not the complete list of advantages your child gets

by going to a specialized kids music school. I will talk

more about the topic in my next few articles.
