Our biggest dreams always start small. Like the first strike of a drum kit, or the first chord played on a piano.
Learning an instrument is the first step to inspiring others with music, and what you choose to create is up to you. There are no limits on what you play, no telling where you could take your sound, and no time like the present. So what are you waiting for?
Nurture a musical connection and watch your child grow, both in and out of the classroom
Music plays a crucial part in a child’s overall mental development: not only can it increase their memory skills and academic performance, it also acts as a great stress reliever - meaning they’ll have no problem taking five during exams season.
Being able to read music is directly linked to understanding and solving mathematical problems. “When children learn rhythm, they are learning ratios, fractions and proportions,” says University of California Professor Gordon Shaw.
Time flies with an instrument in your hands. Playing music gives people the freedom to express themselves in a world away from the screen, with no distractions, no pressure, and never a dull moment.
Joining a band is one of the best ways for kids to get their first taste of being part of a team. Rehearsing and creating together builds essential social skills for later life, laying the foundations for a very special musical journey…
Music is all about creative expression and coordination. Playing a piece of music which really moves them, or creating their own arrangement, allows children the freedom to express themselves. It has the power to boost confidence and unleash complex feelings. Finding their own genre of music or writing their own original score is a great outlet for teenagers finding their place in the world.
Student instruments are designed to be picked up and played straight away. They’re easy to tune and even easier to handle, and should meet the demands of life in smaller hands. Most importantly, they should give starters the best chance to learn the basics and kick their passion into high gear.
Easy to play; helps support the learning process.
Quality designs to stand the test of time.
A future proof, sound investment.
