Looking for a creative outlet for your child? The staff at Hurst Music knows enrollment in music lessons will help improve your student’s academic performance and boost their self-confidence. For over 50 years, the store has been providing people throughout Lexington, KY, with instrument rentals and music lessons.

Below, the Hurst Music staff shares three positive impacts music lessons will have on your child:

• Provides Important Learning Experiences: UCLA Associate Clinical Professor of Neurology Frank R. Wilson said, “Musical activities provide children with experiences that develop physical coordination, timing, memory, visual, aural, and language skills. When they work to increase their command of music and exercise musical skills in the company of others, they gain important experience with self-paced learning, mental concentration, and a heightened personal awareness,” in his 1998 Publication of “Music and Your Child.”
• Learn Discipline and Excellence: If your child wants to master their instrument, they will have to practice. Devoting time to learning outside of music lessons will help build the discipline that will serve them well throughout life.
• Boost Confidence: When your child learns how to read music and masters an instrument, they will become more confident. Positive reinforcement from their music teacher is also a self-esteem booster.

If you want to improve your child’s academic and discipline skills, enroll them in music lessons at Hurst Music. The store’s brass, woodwind, string, piano, and percussion teachers will help your child excel at the instrument they choose. Beyond music classes, the store offers band instrument repair, band rentals, and new and used instruments for sale.
