How To Persuade Your Child To Practice A Musical Instrument

By Jack Wogan


Do you have a hard time with your young child? Do you try to discuss with him about his friends, fears and problems but you didn't get any result so far? Are you really interested in knowing your child's preoccupations? Well, there is only one solution to your problems. You must become your child's best friend, a real friend. Only by gaining your son's confidence are you able to get to your child's heart. We know that this is a huge step and that you must make lots of steps toward this target, but it is the only way that you are going to have success in understanding, helping and educate your little one.

Psychologists, doctors, pastors, children, many of these people have always recognized and appreciated the benefits of music sounds. There are millions of songs in the world, there are thousands of singers and also there are many musicians that play an instrument. They have built an entire world, a music world with different types of music, instrumental and vocal ones.

Flute, batteries, harps, guitars, violins, pianos and many other music instruments are special in their own way. Their sounds alone, combined or all together create a perfect harmony that most of the people like. In the offices, in the car, in your homes, in your free time, we all know that you and many others are listening to some songs.

If all that teaching at a young age is not really your aim, your friends as well as your children's friends are the best helpers. All the concerts of the groups they love ought to be attended by your kid and his/her friends. You should also gather your friends and go to all the concerts that you like, in the meanwhile. The difference of genres doesn't mean that much compared to the important role played in your lives by music. Both kinds of concerts should be talked over, with you speaking naturally of your experience and listening to them talking about theirs. Sometime after doing this regularly, you will have established a common language.

Even if you didn't dress like your favorite band, let your children do that, within limits of course. Respect their collectibles, while keeping your collectibles also in sight. When they decide music is the thing worth living for, a musical instrument will come into their lives. Since the moment cannot be very far now, get ready. Let them buy their first guitar with your help and let them struggle. Inside that struggle they will find their real motivation.
