Learning to play guitar keeps kids away from screens
Get children playing guitar early before cell phones eat their lives and their personalities!
The above may be overstating the case (or it may not come to think about it?) but what is increasingly looking like the sad reality is that folks spend way more time than is good for them passively being distracted or deliberately angered by stuff on their phones than by actiually doing what could be called "having a happy and fulfilled life"
This is not the right forum to debate the merits of tech billionaires developing systems and algorhythms designed solely for the purpose of keeping people on their platforms for as long as possible so that they may occasionally click a sponsored post with absoulutely no regard as to whether the stuff they are watching is good for them or even remotely true but I'm going to do it anyway
Do you waste too much of your life scrolling through rubbish?
Have you ever spent too much time on social media and then when you finally stop scrolling you feel angrier and more unhappy than when you started and a bit ashamed of yourself for achieving nothing during the however many hours you were donating your eyes to big business as it tries to get you to click an advertisment?
I'd love to be able to get all smug at you and say that I've never done it but Im afraid that the thruth has at various stages of my life been something else entirely
Do you think its a good idea for children to do it too?
Unless you are a very strange puppy indeed the answer to the above question should be a resounding... No!
Creative "flow"
Whatever you want to call it having been in a state of "creative flow" is good for you It lowers blood pressure, heart rate and it makes you happier than you were before you were in it and avoiding worthless screen time works out for kids every bit as well as it does for those of us old enough to know better
Musicians, artists, sports folks authors and songwriters have been identified as being ideally placed to benefit from being "in the zone" and I'm not sticking my neck out very far to state .....
"Developing musical skills and capabilities makes you happier than you would otherwise be"
Find out more about creative flow from this BBC article
If you dont have the time or inclination to look at the article here's a quote from it.....'
"Flow is associated with subjective well-being, satisfaction with life and general happiness"
Introducing children to something that will absorb (rather than distract) them would seem like a wonderful thing to do Add that to the fact that the rise of the smart phone has coincided with a fall in the levels of curiosity displayed by young people and worrying research about how screens change the physical way in which young brains develop Learning to play the guitar seems even more like the smart thing to encourage them to do
A child of eight can be like a sponge, soaking up (well presented) knowledge and experience
Help them to learn to play guitar before phones take over their lives?
The best age for a child to learn guitar is any time!
Giving guitar lessons to a child can be fun and it keeps them away from screens To do it properly you need to keep the child entertained and the resources on this website will help you to do just that. Children are (quite rightly) not prepared to willingly tolerate any activity that isn't fun NOW.
