Music in Education


Music, in particular, plays a crucial role in helping develop children’s communication, mathematical, and social skills; as well as helping to build their self-confidence. By teaching children the importance of listening to music at a young age, you can help them to ensure that they grow up to be a well-adjusted adult, while also teaching them the invaluable power of self-expression. Another educational benefit of children’s music is that it seems to aid in brain development. Researchers have discovered that when children are listening to music their brain is being strengthened because the brain is working harder to process the melodies. It is for this reason that many expecting mothers play music for their children while they are still in the womb.  The music is believed to aid in enhancing brain function.  Likewise, children’s music can be a great tool in helping children become interested in playing musical instruments, which also is believed to help children focus and enhance brain development.
