Music lessons—whether for the voice, an instrument, or music theory—alter the way your brain learns and processes information. By taking music lessons, you are creating and strengthening neural pathways that might otherwise go unacknowledged.

Located in Columbia, Suzuki Music School of Maryland, Inc. offers intensive lessons in a variety of instruments—including piano, violin, viola, cello, bass, flute, recorder, guitar, harp, percussion and voice in addition to Early Childhood Music programs plus many other enrichment classes. Here, you can choose to take one-on-one or group lessons, or even learn and grow as a family.

Why Take Music Lessons?

1. Improve Verbal, Mathematical, & Spatial-Temporal Skills

Music is often referred to as a language. While its composition reflects the human brain’s penchant for patterns, learning to read, play, or sing music enhances verbal skills and flexes memorization and associative muscles. Music has also been shown to enrich spatial-temporal skills–the ability to visualize, understand, and manipulate mental images. This heightened perception is no surprise, given the extraordinary hand, ear, and eye coordination required to play as part of a group.

2. Take Part In An Individual & Team Sport

Music lessons often involve many hours of solitary practice and concentration, as students strive to perform at their best. But when an orchestra, band, or choir comes together to play and sing, all those hours spent rehearsing alone benefit the entire orchestra. Students know their own parts so well that they can tune into other instrumentalists’ parts, and into the sound as a whole. Taking instrument or voice lessons as a family at Suzuki Music School of Maryland, Inc. will give you a common outlet and help you grow closer as a unit, learning to listen actively and value one another. 

3. Practice Smart Habits

Music lessons promote many worthwhile habits, including perseverance, dedication, and time management. Weekly sessions with a teacher emphasize accountability and responsibility, as students must demonstrate a commitment to improvement. Music also encourages communication and listening, as well as self-expression and builds skills including improved listening and concentration.
