Triumphant man on the top of a mountain Why knowing how to play the piano helps you to be more successful in life . Did you know that when you learn to play the piano, you develop abilities, which help you to be more successful in other areas of life, for example in your studies or your career? Indeed, several studies have shown that there is a direct link between music lessons and success in the world of work.
How are musicians doing better in life? I have listed below six essential abilities that you train when you learn the piano.
1. Playing the piano increases your concentration.

When playing the piano, you need to pay attention to many things, such as rhythm, pitch, tempo, note value, and so on. In practice, you perform a real concentration exercise while you play the songs you like. Studies have shown that every time a musician takes his instrument, a real fireworks is triggered in his brain (if you want to know more about this subject, we invite you to watch the following video: Ted Talk).
2. Playing the piano teaches you to develop your perseverance .

Learning a new song or song requires time and a lot of effort. Before you can play a song by heart and smoothly, you need to train for a few weeks. The simple idea of one day being able to play the song you are working on boosts your motivation. This teaches you to be patient and increases your perseverance. This ability is especially useful when you find yourself facing difficult tasks at university or at work.
3. Playing the piano makes you more disciplined.

Learning to play the piano is a real challenge. Regular practice and hard work not only increase your perseverance, but also help you become more disciplined. Some passages of songs require more work on your part. For piano learning, there is a "magic" key to success. Of course, I will reveal it to you. The key to success is practice, practice, practice. Regular work on the piano requires discipline. At first, it may be that such rigor seems difficult. You can encourage yourself by thinking of giving yourself a small reward once you have reached a goal. Over time, you will get used to a regular practice and it will not seem more complicated to respect your piano working hours.
4. Playing the piano improves your time management

Many of us have a very busy schedule. Unfortunately, scientists have not yet found a way to extend our 24-hour days. To have the time to manage all your activities, you must organize yourself well. By getting used to working your piano regularly, you are also learning how to use your time productively. From this point of view, 20 small minutes of flapping between two activities can be used for a piano session.
5. Playing the piano improves your emotional intelligence.

Playing the piano optimizes your listening skills. This quality is very important when you interact with others. You not only communicate your feelings through your facial expressions, your body language, but also through the intonation, melody and rhythm of your voice. Anyone who plays an instrument is also a more attentive listener. It is therefore not surprising that studies have shown that musicians feel the emotions of others better and are better able to interpret them than non-musicians.
6. Playing the piano brings your memory.
Playing the piano stimulates your brain. As you practice playing your favorite songs, the areas of your brain that are stimulated expand and become more active. In particular, regions that are responsible for storing auditory information are significantly more developed in musicians than non-musicians. When you play the piano, you improve your ability to process acoustic information. As a result, you find yourself more rarely in a situation where you have to put out a sentence like this: "Sorry, maybe you already told me that, but I do not remember it anymore ..." . Is not it fascinating to see everything that piano learning brings you? If you were looking for a good reason to put yourself on the piano, you now have several in front of you. :-)
