Piano Lessons Macon Ga North Macon Piano Studio offers private piano lessons to children and adults in the Macon,Ga area with award-winning music teacher, Charlotte Bearden.  Piano lessons not only give students a life-long skill that will enrich their lives, but have been proven to enhance students’ academic performances in school. Piano lessons help children with their fine motor skills, eye-hand coordination and general dexterity. This transfers to better handwriting skills. 

Researchers at the University of California at Irvine are at the forefront of some of the latest research on the merits of piano lessons for children. Their study, which took place over two years, found that 3-and 4-year-olds, who were given weekly piano lessons for a year, had improved their puzzle-solving skills by 34 percent over groups who were given singing lessons, computer lessons, or no specific instruction at all.

Think you’re too old to take piano lessons? Think again!! The importance of learning to play the piano has been documented to promote physical rehabilitation in people of all ages, but can especially help older adults stay mentally active and protect against certain illnesses, such as Alzheimer’s disease.

"Music is not just notes. It's patterns of notes and relationships between notes that you see as you play," says UCI neurologist Gordon Shaw. "And like in a chess game, you have to be able to see quite a bit ahead to play."

The theory is that exposure to music rewires neural circuits. Researchers in Germany, for example, have concluded that as a child grows, the brain develops parts of the sensory cortex dedicated to physical skills, like riding a bicycle or playing a musical instrument. These connections last a lifetime and are directly related to other skills we learn.
