October Is Here! 5 Reasons to Start Music Lessons Before the Holiday Rush 

 

October marks the beginning of the busy holiday season, and with it comes a whirlwind of activities, from family gatherings to school events. In the midst of all this excitement, it can be easy to overlook the value of starting music lessons for your child. However, enrolling your child in music lessons at Oregon City Music Academy now—before the holiday chaos sets in—can provide countless benefits. Here are five reasons why October is the perfect time to begin music lessons and why early enrollment sets your child up for success before the holiday rush. 

1. Learn at a Comfortable Pace 

The holidays can be overwhelming, with packed schedules, extra responsibilities, and endless to-do lists. By starting music lessons in October, your child has the opportunity to learn at a comfortable pace without the distractions that typically accompany the holiday season. 

Early enrollment allows your child to focus on learning their instrument, whether it’s the piano or violin, with plenty of time to absorb new concepts and build foundational skills. This relaxed pace leads to greater enjoyment and a deeper understanding of the music they are playing, setting them up for long-term success. 

2. Avoid the Holiday Chaos 

Once the holiday season kicks into full gear, schedules become jam-packed, and it can be difficult to start new activities. By enrolling in music lessons now, before the holiday chaos hits, your child can develop a routine that fits seamlessly into their weekly schedule. Early enrollment ensures that music lessons remain a consistent and stress-free part of your child’s life, even during the busiest time of the year. 

Plus, getting ahead of the holiday rush means your child can enjoy their lessons without feeling rushed or overwhelmed by other commitments. Instead of trying to squeeze in new activities during the hectic holiday season, your child can focus on refining their skills and building confidence. 

3. Build Confidence Before the Winter Break 

One of the biggest advantages of starting music lessons in October is the opportunity for your child to build confidence before winter break. With weekly lessons and practice sessions, your child will have several months to progress at their own pace. By the time school breaks for the holidays, they will have developed a strong foundation in their instrument, whether it’s the violin or piano

This boost in confidence is invaluable, as it encourages your child to continue practicing even when school is out. They’ll feel proud of their accomplishments and be excited to showcase their musical progress to family and friends during holiday gatherings. 

4. Prepare for Holiday Performances 

Holiday recitals and performances are a highlight of the season for many young musicians. By starting music lessons in October, your child will have ample time to prepare for these exciting events. Whether they’re performing in a school talent show or taking part in a recital at Oregon City Music Academy, early enrollment ensures they will be ready to shine on stage. 

Performing during the holidays is a great way for your child to celebrate their hard work and share their love of music with others. The experience of performing in front of an audience not only builds self-esteem but also creates lasting memories that your child will cherish for years to come. 

5. Develop Routine and Discipline 

Establishing a routine is key to success in any activity, and music lessons are no exception. By enrolling your child in lessons in October, you are helping them develop the discipline needed to practice regularly and stay committed to their musical journey. Music lessons provide structure and consistency, giving your child a positive and enriching activity to focus on. 

As they build this routine, your child will develop valuable life skills such as time management, perseverance, and responsibility. These skills will not only benefit them in their music education but also in other areas of their life, from academics to extracurricular activities.
