Hi, Mark.
I can't agree with you more.
Hopefully my readers don't mind my being a bit of 'social cannibalism' again.
Some 23 years ago, I enrolled both my sons, John & Charle in Yamaha piano lessons, very popular kiddie hobby training back those days. Why? I found them extremely 'reckless' - never sit still for a second.
(Actually it happens to all kids & toddlers, but how did we know
being young parents then. Right?)
So, I decided to put them on the piano bench, hoping they would learn to behave & get focussed on things.
Charles didn't like music, & guitted after passing 1st level (international classical piano music examiners require passing 10 levels for graduation, & hence qualified for advance study for performance diplomas or teaching diplomas).
John hung on to it as a hobby training, & graduated when he was 18.
He then entered university to pursue his career study of actuarial science (an extremely tedious discipline in mathematics!). Hopefull, he will be qualified as a young professional actuary after he passes his last of the ten papers laid down by the American Society of Actuaries this year!
Indeed, music training is good in helping kids' self development,
spiritually, mentally & physically (fingers & body coordination in case of piano music). I am very proud of him.
Good listening.
