1. Responsibility
When it comes to a musical band, each member is held accountable for their individual responsibilities. The band’s singer, for example, is normally responsible for memorizing the lyrics to songs, while a drum player has the responsibility of memorizing the music they need to perform. Responsibility means being dependable and that is exactly what students learn to be when they perform together as a band.
Responsibility is also essential to establishing a very strong work ethic, creating a sense of independence, and leading a healthy lifestyle. Taking
accountability also encourages students in their learning and aids greatly in academic performance as well as achievements.
2. Discipline
Discipline is the bridge connecting goals and accomplishment, which is why people who succeed in life exert discipline on a daily basis. It builds a
strong foundation developing self-motivation, self-control, and enhances critical thinking when making a decision. Additionally, band members are
taught to respect each other in the same way they’d respect their band leader or parent.
By joining our Summer Band Camp, your child will develop self-discipline, which in turn allows them to grow emotionally and socially making the right decisions in the future. Being disciplined enough to listen, learn, understand, and respect orders is not only critical in a musical band, but
also helps children accomplish their goals as they grow older.
3. Personal Growth
Personal growth is arguably one of the most important things children need to learn. As children grow into adulthood, the individuals who prioritize their own growth and development are likely to be more successful,happier, and healthier in life. For many students who are shy or afraid of performing in front of other people, being in a band can be especially helpful for calming their fears and boosting their self-confidence. Each time your child takes the stage or practices for a performance with their peers, they’ll keep gaining more and more confidence, losing the fear that held them back previously.
Additionally, by sharing these experiences with their friends and band members, your child will have access to a strong built-in support system
from which they can personally grow and develop. This social development is important for fostering friendships and is beneficial for your child to relate and cooperate with others.
4. Teamwork
One of the greatest things about a musical band is that each individual member is just as important as the next. While each member has their own
responsibilities, it all comes together to form one entity: A musical band.
In the process of learning an instrument and memorizing each vocal note, your child will also bond with the other band members, leading them to
accomplish their overall goal. By working as a team, children also develop many other important life skills, such as problem solving,creative thinking and leadership.
Teamwork is also a very important skill children need to get ahead in the world today and is a very sought-after skill in education and the workplace. Many college and university studies have shown that more than 80% of employers look for teamwork and collaboration skills in new hires.
Due to these reasons, teamwork is not only valuable to the current on-going development of your child but also to their success later in life.
5. Commitment
In a musical band every member is essential. By taking part in learning to play an instrument, creating, and writing a song your child is taught the
importance of hard-work, commitment and perseverance. Commitment helps individuals stick to their goals. By becoming committed to the band, your child will learn to successfully achieve and maintain goals no matter what obstacles come their way. Even when the going gets tough, band members learn to encourage one another to keep going. This commitment also reflects on the student’s school academics, future job opportunities, and personal relationships.
