There seems to be no shortage of studies coming out that prove the vast benefits of music. One of the last ones I read was about music lessons as a child, and how that has a lasting effect on the adult brain. Another story out was about veterans and their post war experiences with music. Many of them were multiple amputees, and they found great solace in music. The ability to heal and express are evident everywhere.
Denver is a great city! We enjoy such amazing weather and such majestic beauty that sometimes we forget about the musicians around us. There is a vibrant music scene in Denver, and many players who are passionate about their craft.
Types Of Music Lessons
Piano Lessons
Piano lessons are always a popular place to start. Whether you live in Centennial or Castle Pines, there is great opportunity for you to have awesome piano lessons taught in your home. Piano is one of those great instruments to start on. You learn so many of the basics when taking piano lessons. One of the great things about starting piano lessons is getting the fingering down. If you’ve ever watched someone play a chord who has never had a piano lesson before, you are probably going to see some really odd stretching and crossing over of the fingers. When you understand proper fingering early on, you will naturally start putting your hands in those positions to play a melody or a chord. It is similar to learning the keyboard on what we used to call a typewriter, now a computer! Once you get your fingers in the right position, the speed with which you type is so much faster! It works much the same way with piano.
Guitar Lessons
Another really popular instrument for taking in home lessons is guitar. Are you in the Aurora area? Maybe you’re in Broomfield or Westminster? There are great guitar lessons available to you. Guitar is the greatest of portable instruments. After watching the CMA awards, I’m always inspired by the incredible guitar playing. So many of the artists use their guitars so effectively. It gives you the versatility of traveling with your instrument and being able to play for yourself or for others. If you learn the basics of guitar from your teacher, you can really start to expand on your own styles and sounds. The sky is the limit with guitar. You can also translate much of that knowledge to the bass, also. Denver music lessons can get you on your way to whatever it is you’re looking to play.
Voice Lessons
Do you aspire to try out for the next season of The Voice or X Factor? Some vocal coaching could be just the thing you need! In Denver last year they did hold tryouts for several of these popular shows. If you live in Lakewood, or Highlands Ranch, there are opportunities for singers. You can get involved in a community choir or maybe for a Christmas celebration musical. Voice lessons can set you on the course to having the confidence to get out there and try it! A voice coach can give you the pointers to help bring out the best in your voice, teach proper breathing, and help focus your voice to bring out the best sound you can get. I’m inspired watching others sing and perform. If you feel that and want to try some music lessons in Denver or the metro area, think about signing up for voice lessons. There are some great teachers to help.
Denver Music Teachers
Exposing yourself or your child to music is one of the greatest things you can do for them and yourself! The developmental advantages are great. The expression you can enjoy and the community experience when you participate in a group is priceless. Music lessons have a price, but it is something well worth the cost!
