By Ann Long


Music education is one field of study which is associated with learning and teaching music. It involves a lot of domains and these include the cognitive or knowledge acquisition, psychomotor or the skills development, and the affective or the willingness to internalize, receive, and share learnings and this includes music sensitivity and appreciation.

There are a lot of countries which are offering music trainings and these are common from the preschool up to the post secondary education. The reason for this is because music is being considered as one of the fundamental components in human culture and behavior. And also, it is considered as an accomplishment in distinguishing the humans as species. This article will be focusing on the benefits of violin and also on having a private violin teacher Santa Barbara for the children, in enhancing their skills.

The violin is said to be one of the well known string instrument. The children usually become very attracted since the instrument has a modernized look and they also are attracted on how it is played. They often get fascinated into it whenever they have reached the age of 7 to 10 years old, but mostly, this may vary.

In Santa Barbara, CA, one benefit which is very important in having private teachers is providing one student or few students a focused attention compared to having many students in a class. This can also help on develop fast learning to the child. And also, even the violins have important benefits to the children which comes in three aspects, the social, physical, and mind aspects.

In physical aspect, the children gains flexibility and also strength in their bodies, especially on upper parts. And because of developing the muscle memory and skill memory which are needed for playing, the arms and fingers also get stronger when learning exciting and new techniques. Another physical improvement is posture. And the reason is strengthening their upper arms, back, and shoulders.

The back gets stronger because there is a need to sit straight. And the upper arms and shoulders will bear the instruments and bows extra weight, and also their own arms weight. The little fingers and both of the arms will also gain strength. The left side gains nimbleness due to the quick movements when it presses the violin strings. And the right side learns on controlling the bow and on coordinating it with the left side.

In the mind aspect, first, they can improve focus and span. They must learn both the violin and as well as on reading the music. Second, it can sharpen their memory. They will need to memorize the movements physically and reading reading the music. Third, improving self discipline since they have to practice the skills again and again.

In social aspects, it improves their communication skills. Since they have been learning the skills for may be a few years or more, they have the chance on having something to share with others. This is one opportunity for them to be proud of themselves and talk about it with their family and friends.

For this reason, it is an opportunity to improve their social interactions. They can also learn on how to become responsible when helping and teaching others to learn it as well. For those extrovert children, they have the time to spend on focusing and concentrating the skills, and thus, can improve concentration, self discipline, and memory.
