Abstract | Most parents and educators agree that playing an instrument offers wide ranging benefits to students of all ages and backgrounds. While such benefits are typically described in terms of personal and academic success, it's possible that gifted students may need music making for reasons that have little to do with achievement and much more to do with contentment. A child enrolled in music lessons does not only embark upon a wondrous musical adventure, but also gains a wealth of skills that go far beyond the musical notes: (1) Learning to work hard; (2) Learning to be self-reliant; (3) Learning to be responsible; (4) Learning to focus; (5) Learning to pay attention to details; (6) Learning to be creative; and (7) Learning to persevere. These are outcomes of music making that can lead to success in life for anyone. When employers consider candidates for their top positions, they are usually looking for a well defined set of character traits. Specifically, they want people who know how to work hard, are self-reliant and responsible, can focus well and avoid distractions, will pay attention to details, are creative, and will persevere on a project from beginning to end.
