Why not teach the child music

Music schools inexplicably popular among parents, as well as dance clubs or art schools. dance benefit can still be detected (after all, physical activity), but with drawing and music matter.

Once upon a time the ability to play an instrument and make sketches in albums was a pass to "decent society." Apparently, since people believe that to teach a child to play the cello or trombone - a great way to of education.

It is time to reconsider this approach.

The main question - why

Parents think that the music school will help develop the ear and the voice, so you need to write down the child to school. Stop.

First question: do you believe that we need to develop something that is not?

Ear for music, sense of rhythm - it's acquired over time, but if the child did not have instincts, a great musician from it will not grow. Mozart, perhaps, learned to play almost from infancy. But since then, so many of whom mocked, and Mozart as he was alone, and so remained.

Bring the child to listen, let teachers tell whether it makes sense to study. Just keep in mind that some of the teachers are ready to be filled nightingale and tell what your baby is a genius, but you have given money for training. So choose a consultant who is not interested in your child financially.

The second question is why your child is hearing and voice?

Think about where the child is going to sing in addition to reporting the concert at the music school. Okay, let's say, will participate in the show will be the winner of "Eurovision" (although this dubious achievement). And where he will play the French horn?

How many people have finished music school, but did not even stars karaoke. Their ceiling - play "Dog Waltz" and the three thieves chord, if they see the tool.

And for this it was necessary for several years every day to spoil your posture and vision? Seriously?

Popular musicians are not so many, their lives are not the easiest. Pulls a child into music - choose tools that are somehow useful in musical groups (say, with good strikers napryazhenka).

4 unconvincing reasons why you need to take a child to a music school

Sometimes parents send a child to a music school without considering what it does. And even find for this wonderful explanation.

1. Child needs to develop musical taste

It is necessary, but this does not necessarily something to play. It is for aesthetic education enough music.

Music school - this is for those who can not play music. Calling, if you will. Taste has nothing to do with it.

2. Do you have some tool

Do not engage the child in music school just because you of bygone days left piano or accordion. Someone over the years are "Swallows" and "The Seagull", with which once a week carefully wash the dust. They can not sell because they do not need anyone at all, it is not the great masters. And throw a pity: here Julia and Peter will grow up to be engaged. Julia and Petya, of course, do not ask.

It is not necessary to scoff at the kids because you dare not throw away the trash.

3. We must be the right parent

Music continues to school is considered a sign of the "right" all-round development.

This trend has already got the order if you do not drive the child in music school, a dance, then another into English and to draw, then you bad parentYou lazy.

The fact that the real parent he can tell a lot, and will not push down on the child's teachers, studiously ignored. Just as diligently as the fact that a good parent listens to the child's wishes and not to the mass hysteria of early development.

4. You dreamed of going to the music school

It is already obvious, and everybody knows about it, so in short: if you are about something dreamed of, but you do not grow together, do not force your child to live a fictional life. Otherwise, your child will be, too, to dream, but to no avail: no time to engage in a dream, waiting for the music.

There is only one reason to bring the child in music school - he so wanted.

What happens if you insist on continuing training

It also happens: the child is interested in music, but then decided to give up his studies. No wonder: the music school bully of children classical music, which very few people are interested in (let alone without the snobbery). It is necessary to turn out the technique, but teachers do not adapt the main theme of "Game of Thrones" for fourth-class music school. At guitarists have at least tabs, which clogged the Internet. The other, and this is not.

I do not deny that sometimes you have to show toughness, if the child was going to quit music school because of a whim, but he has the talent. Sometimes you need to find out why the class tired, and help to go further: to change the teacher to change the repertoire.

But when the problem is the reluctance to play, then do not push. You can get a child to learn and to put a tick in the box "to ensure all-round development." Only then your child to live with it.

If the child wants to do, it does not have to force. And if you have to force him to drive to the instrument, you are waiting for the most most unpleasant consequences.

• The child hates music. You can not love with a stick. And if you force a child to engage in music, most likely after the graduation he was happy to forget everything he had been taught.
• Child harbored a grudge on you. Parental tyranny - the shaky foundation for building trusting relationship.
• The child will acquire complexes. He will be afraid of the tool and speeches, destroy self-esteem, acquire the neurosis and the entire bouquet psychological problems, which appear at very responsible and sensitive people is not their when doing business. This is a heavy case, but it happens.
• The child wasted time. This intrusive option, if he has a steady mind and he knows how to philosophically treat such trifles as a music school.

Roughly the same thing can be said about art school. Someone drawing skills will come in handy if the child will be the designer or architect. As a rule, children who want to paint, do not stop. But if a child with difficulty drags on activity to dull copy another still life, all the result of the effort will be collecting dust in daddy "Petya's work." Although this time could be spent on something more useful.

If the child is not interested in anything, let them play sports. Modern student movement is more necessary than aesthetic education.

Music and art education - the road is not for everyone. The best time to quit uninteresting case and find the circle that will bring at least some benefit, than to finish school and dream to hold on to the outlet.
