6 Reasons to Keep
​Your Instrument Over the Summer

KEEP Your RENTAL OVER THE SUMMER
RETURN  YOUR RENTAL
purchase an instrument
Picture
1.) Keep Playing -  Vacation is beautiful…………but so is music! By keeping the instrument over the summer, you offer your musician a chance to keep up their hard-learned skills from the school year, while exploring new and stress-free ways of making music.


2.) Be prepared – with the start of every school year, come all kinds of auditions and preparations.  Avoid the mayhem of last minute stresses, have your child start practicing their audition piece early


3.) Guaranteed instrument for the fall.  Check one thing off your “start of the school year” list – keep your instrument, and you are ready for the upcoming year!


4.) Music camps – memories made at camps are often everlasting, and music camps are a great way of encouraging teamwork.


5.) Form a band - make new friends! Take your instrument outside (in the shade) - breath in the fresh air and play that tune.  Call a friend and have a jam session.  Music has no bounds.
​


6.) Keep your brain working! If you haven’t heard this before, playing an instrument is incredibly beneficial to your health and engages numerous parts of the brain!  For example, it:
  • Increases memory capacity
  • Boosts team skills
  • Teaches perseverance
  • Enhances coordination
  • Betters mathematical ability
  • Sharpens concentration
  • Boosts listening skills
  • Relieves stress
  • Makes you happy!

Happiness keeps you healthy.  So, go out there and play!
