DID YOU KNOW?!

Educational Benefits of Music Education

 In schools in which principals and vice principals say the quality of their music education programs is excellent or very good, graduation rates are 90.9%, and attendance
is at 93.8%. 1 87% of teachers and 79% of parents strongly believe music education has a positive impact on overall academic performance.

 89% of teachers and 82% of parents rate music education highly as a source for greater student creativity, a 21st century skill that’s highly likely to help young people
stand out in an increasingly competitive global economy.

 Research reveals strong connections between rhythm skills and pre-reading abilities in toddlers.

Social Benefits of Music Education

 Children who study a musical instrument are more likely to excel in all of their studies, work better in teams, have enhanced critical thinking skills, stay in school, and
pursue further education.

 Perseverance is developed and strengthened through music education and supports better study habits and self-esteem.

 As they make music together, children learn to work as a team while they each contribute to the song in their own way. At the same time, music helps children learn
that together they can make something larger than the sum of its parts.

 More benefits of music for children include learning cooperation, sharing, compromise, creativity, and concentration—skills that become invaluable as they enter
school, face new challenges, and begin to form new friendships and develop social skills.

Cognitive Benefits of Music Education

 Everyday listening skills are stronger in musically-trained children than in those without music training. Significantly, listening skills are closely tied to the ability to: per-
ceive speech in a noisy background, pay attention, and keep sounds in memory.

 In order to fully reap the cognitive benefits of a music class, kids have to be actively engaged in the music and participate in the class.

 In a 2009 study in the Journal of Neuroscience, researchers used an MRI to study the brains of 31 6-year-old children, before and after they took lessons on a musical
instrument for 15 months. They found that the music students’ brains grew larger in the areas that control fine motor skills and hearing—and that students’ abilities in
both those areas also improved. The corpus callosum, which connects the left and right sides of the brain, grew as well.

 Music training leads to greater gains in auditory and motor function when begun in young childhood; by adolescence, the plasticity that characterizes childhood has be-
gun to decline. Nevertheless, our results establish that music training impacts the auditory system even when it is begun in adolescence, suggesting that a modest
amount of training begun later in life can affect neural function.
