If you love music, and have always wanted to learn how to play a musical instrument, it's not too late just because you are an adult. Learning is a great option for seniors with extra time on their hands and musical interests they have never explored. Experts say there are a lot of reasons adults excel, and find learning easier, when they decide to take up an instrument. You might be surprised at how quickly you become proficient at the piano lessons for adults Buckhead GA instructors offer.

One reason teachers love to see seniors take up the piano is because they are doing it voluntarily. They are not victims of a mother who always wanted to be a concert pianist herself. Seniors are more likely to practice in order to play as well as possible. They have a lot of enthusiasm for the art. Most seniors look forward to seeing the instructor, which makes teaching them much more pleasant.

There is a big creative element in the act of playing a musical instrument, which mainly involves using the right side of the brain. The left brain is part of it as well. Seniors' brains have matured. Their critical thinking skills are fully developed. They are better able to comprehend the composer's thought process and can analyze compositions a lot easier than children. In order to play well, both sides of the brain have to be engaged.

Breaking down complex concepts is easier for older people to do. A lot of kids can learn how to play notes correctly and memorize musical pieces. What they can't do is understand the nuances of the pieces they are playing. They aren't mature enough or experienced enough to comprehend what the composer was trying to get across with a composition. Playing the notes alone won't create the joy, passion, anger, or sorrow that the composer was trying to convey.

Kids do not have developed attention spans. They tend to bounce from one thing to another, and that can make it difficult for instructors. They may have to cut a lesson short or adjust it to accommodate the student's immaturity.

Seniors are at the opposite end of the spectrum. They are mature enough to listen and take instruction seriously. They take what they have learned during a lesson and apply it to their practice sessions. Seniors will usually take more time practicing. This gives them positive results faster than their young counterparts.

There are other practical reasons adults make better musical students than kids. For one thing most of them can read. They can recognize numbers, note names, and understand fingering exercises. Grown ups, who are interested enough, can study musical theory and history, which adds to their appreciation of the art.

Finger and hand muscles are stronger in adults than children. Seniors have normal size hands. Stringed instruments like violins can be adjusted to fit small hands. Pianos cannot. The keys are standard sizes on all types of pianos and are fashioned for adult hands.
