Children Benefit From Music
It's all over the media: music is good for children (and for their parents)!
- Music significantly aids in improving the fundamental areas of child development: physical, cognitive, language, social, and emotional.
- Studies with preschoolers have shown that those children receiving music training performed 34% higher on tests measuring spatial-temporal ability, indicating that music enhances higher brain functions required for math and science.
- Studies also show that music training generates the neural connections used for abstract reasoning, the so-called "hard-wiring" of neural connections.
- Children who have participated in music perform better in reading and language, and have higher self-esteem.
- Musical activities, especially those with a holistic approach ( like JoyNotes Music Studio), can help children develop physical coordination, timing, memory, visual, aural and language skills.
The Unmeasured Benefits
Studies aside, there are other definite benefits:
- An appreciation for beauty in art and in the world around us.
- Hearing the music of the planet - the music in nature, in faces, in silence...
- The satisfaction of contributing to a successful performance - teamwork in the arts!
- Having a song in your heart
