Baltimore, MD -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/15/2016 -- The professionals at Playtime Arts Academy of Greater Baltimore want residents of the greater Baltimore area to know that learning how to play a musical instrument comes with many, many perks that may not be known. For example, those who take in home piano lessons in Mt. Washington, MD and its surrounding areas are more likely to exhibit several skills that were developed while they learned how to play their respective instruments.

Those who learn how to play music at an early age develop several skills through practicing their instrument of choice; these skills serve the musicians well throughout the rest of their lives. For instance, musicians have superior critical thinking, listening, and concentration skills. These kinds of intangibles translate from musical practice to virtually every other arena of life. Learning music requires focus, which comes in handy when one needs to hone in on a specific task. Music also teaches students to listen, which aids them while in the classroom. It also fosters a healthy sense of concentration, which is great for learning.

Performing a musical in front of an audience of any size teaches musicians how to be comfortable while they are in front of people. Those who perform music are usually comfortable giving presentations, speeches, and in high-pressure situations during which their every action is under intense scrutiny.

Those interested in developing these skills in themselves or their children can call Playtime Academy of the Arts of Greater Baltimore at 410-654-9042 to learn about in home piano lessons in Mt. Washington and its surrounding areas. More information about the company can be found on their website at http://www.playtimeartsacademy.com.

Baltimore, MD -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/15/2016 -- The bright minds at Playtime Arts Academy of Greater Baltimore want aspiring musicians surrounding the Baltimore area to recognize music is not a chore, but a means to learn something a potential protege might have an undying passion for. Those interested in guitar, voice, or in home piano lessons in Pikesville, MD should know that the discipline one acquires when learning an instrument can only help. Not to mention, music can also be incredibly therapeutic for children experiencing stress.

Parents often push their children to learn an instrument because it is an extracurricular that will look good on the eventual resume. Playtime Arts Academy of Greater Baltimore understands that music is more than something to show off – it can inspire great determination and happiness, two helpful traits for developing children. Learning an instrument out of desire will produce a much happier child than for obligation. Not to mention, if they jam out with other children, it's a great way to make friends and grow as musicians.

Establishing discipline out of a desire to better the individual as a musician will then instill a greater sense of responsibility when it comes to other aspects such as homework, sports, and chores. The learning process to reading, playing, and even writing music one day, is often regarded with high esteem. Children will begin to respect the progression and, in turn, discipline will transform into an eager appetite to learn more.

Playing an instrument will allow the child to process, and ultimately, work through whatever life throws at them.

As the child advances in their playstyle, they can rationalize feelings prior to learning the instrument they otherwise could not comprehend. Playtime Arts Academy of Greater Baltimore provides a great outlet for students to mature as musicians and people.

Baltimore, MD -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/12/2015 -- Playtime Piano is beloved by Baltimore area music students for their convenient at-home piano lessons and knowledgeable instructors. Playtime Piano is also unique in that it encourages students young and old to write their own music during lessons. Effective immediately, Playtime Piano is proud to announce that it continues to offer piano instruction that encourages students to write original compositions.

Playtime Piano was founded by Scott and Harlene McGowan in 1997. Since then, Playtime Pianos' staff of over thirty instructors has held piano lessons in the homes of over 2,000 students in Greater Baltimore. Playtime Piano's instructors are screened to meet high standards and for their ability to work with all ages. The company feels that it is especially important that their instructors understand how children learn, so that they can teach and encourage them accordingly

One of Playtime Piano's core tenets is that piano students should be encouraged to write original compositions in addition to learning how to read and play compositions written by others. When founding Playtime Piano, the McGowans realized that in virtually all other artistic disciplines, students are instructed to not only learn about the subject but also create original works, but this philosophy was lacking in music instruction. To counteract this pattern, all Playtime Piano students are encouraged to experiment and write original compositions. Instructors are happy to encourage their students' creativity and will help them form and write their own works.

Each Playtime Piano lesson is conducted in the student's home. Instructors bring years of musical knowledge and a fun, positive atmosphere to each lesson. All Playtime Piano students are invited to play in a free yearly recital in the spring. During the recital, instructors will be on-hand to help students if needed.
