Student learning to play piano at the Manitoba Conservatory of Music & Arts

Benefits of learning to play piano

While our downtown Winnipeg music school offers violin lessons, cello lessons, voice lessons, guitar lessons, ukulele lessons, clarinet lessons and more, piano is the most popular instrument of choice here at the Manitoba Conservatory of Music & Arts.

Regardless of your age or skill level, there are many benefits of learning to play piano!

Did you know that playing piano has been shown to improve memory? It improves language skills, memory and attention. Regular piano practice also builds good habits such as focus, perseverance and diligence. It even improves creativity!

Playing piano calls for different actions from both hands at the same time. Regular practice sharpens fine motor skills and improves hand-eye coordination. Reading sheet music, and translating those visual cues into hand movements helps develop hand-eye coordination.

Time spent playing piano improves mental health-it reduces stress and anxiety, and increases self-esteem. Piano practice requires concentration and focus, which can help you forget about your worries. Playing the piano allows you to enter a state of flow where time seems to disappear. Mastering a difficult passage of music can help you feel good about yourself, increasing your self-esteem.
