Building Self-Confidence
– Learning a new skill and being able to showcase it in front of people requires a lot of confidence. And this definitely takes time to slowly build their confidence.Â
Listening Skills
– Listening skill is another crucial aspect that most musicians need to have. Not only the ability to listen to music (by analyzing), but also listening to the other players when playing as an ensemble. Imagine, if you are always self-centered, you won’t be synchronized and play as one together, because you are only focusing on your own part, and didn’t care about the others.Â
Creativity
– People who are learning music can definitely increase their creativity. There is one aspect that musicians can improve on, called “improvisation”. This means the musician doesn’t have the chance to prepare in advance, they have to just play whatever they have on the spot, and here their creativity can be tested.Â
