Shy children have a difficult time in school.
They are petrified of going in front of the class to deliver reports and they are too nervous to raise their hand when they know an answer in class.
Parents of these shy children often look for opportunities to raise the child's self esteem and help them overcome that shyness.
For many, music becomes the outlet that works wonders.
Music can help a shy child in a number of ways: • Music gives them an acceptable way to express themselves without words.
• Music performance gives them confidence and helps them overcome shyness in front of crowds or groups.
• Interacting with other children in a musical environment helps them break the ice and learn better communication skills.
• Making music in a group helps them work with others confidently.
• Music ability gives them a talent that they feel confident sharing and talking about.
Not all of these benefits of music for a shy child will be shown right from the start of music lessons.
Smaller children already showing signs of shyness are often registered in music programs for the young as a means of self expression.
They are given the tools to express their emotions and thoughts without having to speak to others.
As the child grows they will develop more proficiency with music and that self expression will become more valuable.
They will have a talent that they can talk to others about and display in school with great confidence.
That self confidence can do wonders for a shy child who otherwise would shrink into the corner at school.
If a child progresses to the point of performing music in front of others or giving concerts, they can completely overcome their shyness with time.
They get used to going in front of others and learn that they can in fact do elegant, graceful things that others want to hear and enjoy.
Parents who fear their children will suffer from shyness should get their children into a musical environment as early as possible.
It is never too early for children to start exploring music.
The younger they start the more likely they are to grow to love and appreciate music in a very deep way.
Many shy children need something that they really love to pull them out of their shells.
They need something to boost their confidence and something that makes them feel their own greatness.
Music can do that for them, especially if they start out young and are encouraged to express themselves through their own musical creations.
Even just interacting with other children through music can bring the shy child out of their shell.
It takes off the pressure of trying to introduce themselves or make friends because they can bond and interact with others through music.
Children who take music classes outside of school will meet children from school in a more casual environment and that can help them make friendships that carry over to school life.
Every child will benefit from music in some way, but it can be especially powerful for children who tend to be shy or less confident in themselves.
This is something many parents of shy children have already discovered and many more will discover in the future.
