Benefits of a Music Academy Versus Homeschooling

When it comes to selecting a music teacher, you will need to consider whether you’d rather have your child take in-home lessons or lessons at a Music Academy.

There are numerous benefits in enrolling your student at a Music Academy. One of the primary advantages is that your child will be surrounded by other excited students, which works as a valuable source of inspiration for young learners.

Additionally, your child will benefit from hearing other instruments and having the opportunity to touch, hold, and feel other instruments. Inspiration and sensory stimulation in the form of touch, sight, and sound are positive factors that promote a child’s development. Students who take lessons at home won’t be able to see other children at various skill levels practicing. If they don’t have exposure to other students, they cannot be inspired to improve their abilities by watching others excel at playing their chosen instruments.

We encourage students who are homeschooled to attend a Music Academy so that they can have the opportunity to be influenced positively by their peers. Children who are home schooled often have a more flexible schedule and they can take their lessons during the midday lunch hours while other students are at school.

It is important to select an Academy that places emphasis on recitals. At our Academy, we have recitals every six months where students are able to perform in front of other students and their families.

The experience of learning to play an instrument is often collaborative. When you are starting a new workout regimen, it’s much easier to be motivated at a gym where you’re surrounded by other people working hard rather than working out at home. At a Music Academy,, the experience of being in an environment with other musicians can enrich a student’s experience and deepen their appreciation for their own instrument.
