Increases Confidence

YES!!!!! Let's Play Music increases confidence. I have seen my own children's inhibitions decrease and confidence increase as they have participated in lets play music. When they get the 'AH-HA' moment, they naturally feel confident with themselves. As they try a new and hard thing, it will seem difficult at first, but when they persist and keep trying, that internal reward of increased confidence shines through. I have been able to witness, first hand, the shy child in class that eventually comes out of their "shell" and really become active participants in the class. As a teacher and a mother, when I see the confidence in a child increase, it makes me so excited and I feel a great reward indeed!!! If anyone has experienced that same thing, feel free to post a comment, I would love to hear how lets play music has played an important role in increasing your child's confidence!
