Read More »According to a study by the University of Southern California, students who learn how to play musical instruments, experience faster brain development. Students also see improvements in motor skills, listening, sensory development and self-esteem. A parent is usually giddy with excitement and pride when their children say they want to learn a musical instrument – provided, of course, that they’re interested in something more than banging a drum at all hours of the night. But with so many popular musical instruments to choose from, which one should parents and students choose? In the article below, we outline some of the most popular musical instruments for students. We also outline the virtues and important factors to consider when choosing between them.

Read More »For students, the choice between musical instruments is highly personal. Whichever instrument is chosen, there are a host of teachers out there ready to pass on their knowledge. Because there are so many options for students to consider, we focused on the 10 most popular musical instruments. When creating this top-ten list, we carefully considered a variety of sources. Piano/Keyboard Some experts separate the two, and they do have different uses, but the basics are very similar. Some instructors believe that learning to play piano should be a prerequisite for learning any other instrument. “Despite being a single instrument, a piano covers the full spectrum of any instrument featured in the orchestra,” according to the La Habra and Corona Music Centers. It teaches coordination between hands and between the hand and the eye. Guitar The rise of rock music has lifted the popularity of the guitar. The video game is called “Guitar Hero,” not “Piano Hero,” for a reason. Some articles even put the guitar at the top of the list. Like the piano, it can be played solo or in a group, and it can teach vital hand-to-hand and hand-eye coordination. There are also several varieties, such as electric, acoustic and bass. Violin While it is most often associated with classical music – the first violinist is, after all, second to the conductor in the orchestra pecking order – it has emerged in several other musical genres. “It is fairly easy to learn and you can purchase different sizes, which makes this a great instrument for kids to start out with,” according to the Creative School of Soul website. Drums Yes, parents and siblings will likely need noise-canceling headphones but drums are also a good way to learn musical discipline, since understanding the nuances of the instrument will eliminate the urge to simply bang around. It is so integral to many musical genres, from classical to rock to jazz, that it should always be among the most popular instrument. Saxophone The sax is the most popular wind instrument and is highly desired by school orchestras. Available in all sound ranges from alto to contrabass – though alto and tenor are the most prominent – they come in all shapes and sizes and are useful in a variety of genres, though they are most known for jazz.
I-V-vi-IV I-V-vi-IV This progression is called “the most popular progression” for a reason. It's been used in just about every genre imaginable,...

A quiet and highly portable instrument, it is very easy to learn, according to the Ambient Mixer blog, and doesn’t cost too much money. It can also be used as a stepping stone to other instruments. Though primarily a classical instrument, it has adapted to other genres and was a foundational instrument for the 1970s rock group Jethro Tull. Clarinet Many students start their musical training with the recorder in elementary school music class, and the step up to the clarinet is natural. It is a woodwind and, like the flute, is small, lightweight and versatile. The clarinet is a staple of classical and jazz orchestras. Cello Luckily, cellos for younger students aren’t horribly huge, but they get pretty heavy as the student gets older. It is a key string instrument, along with the violin and viola, and is used mostly in symphony orchestra and chamber quartets. It can accompany almost any instrument, and there are some solos in the repertoire. Trumpet The king of the brass instruments is used in almost every genre. An integral part of symphony orchestra brass sections, the trumpet is also crucial to jazz, R&B and some rock ensembles. Available in a variety of sizes, it helps enhance motor skills and, as a Normans Musical Instruments blog states, can even exercise abdominal muscles.
It sharpens fine motor skills, improves dexterity and hand-eye coordination. Music has also been shown to reduce heart and respiratory rates,...
