The Future Sounds Good

There are many proven scientific studies that show how music is very beneficial to children. Music cultivates little learners. Music Matters, a report by U.S. coalition Arts Education Partnership, highlights four key ways music can help children learn: It can enhance fine motor skills, prepare the brain for achievement, boost memory and even improve abstract reasoning. 

Music inspires a creative spirit. Whether it’s making up the lyrics to songs or dancing wildly to the beat, children will tap into their inner creative spirit. As the Royal Conservatory of Music explains, there is a “marked difference in inter-hemispheric communication (communication between the right and left sides of the brain) in individuals with musical training.” It is believed this greater connectivity fosters creativity. Last but not least, music builds confidence. With music, kids can express themselves, improve their skills and practice performing in front of others.
