The Benefits of Music Education
More Than Just Music
Research has found that learning music facilitates learning other subjects and enhances skills that children inevitably use in other areas.
Language Development
. While children come into the world ready to decode sounds and words, music education helps enhance those natural abilities. According to the Children’s Music Workshop, the effect of music education on language development can be seen in the brain.
Increased IQ
Children who were given music lessons over the school year tested on average three IQ points higher than the other groups.
The Brain Works Harder
Research indicates the brain of a musician, even a young one, works differently than that of a nonmusician
Improved Test Scores
Students in elementary schools with superior music education programs scored around 22 percent higher in English and 20 percent higher in math scores on standardized tests, compared to schools with low-quality music programs, regardless of socioeconomic disparities among the schools or school districts
Being Musical
Music can improve your child’ abilities in learning and other nonmusic tasks.
