Benefits of Music Education
Children from a very early age love music. I have seen it and I bet you have too. The toddler that is listening to music starts moving to the beat. They learn to sing along with the music their parent is teaching them. A lot of the beginning language is learned through music. Kids learn about the animals on the farm from "The Farmer in the Dell" and "Old MacDonald". We teach them little songs about "Pattie Cake" and "The ABC's".
So what are the benefits of music education? Laura Brown from PBS.org had a very interesting article that I want to share with you.
More Than Just Music
Research has found that learning music facilitates learning other subjects and enhances skills that children inevitably use in other areas. "A music-rich experience for children of singing, listening and moving is really bringing a very serious benefit to children as they progress into more formal learning," says Mary Luehrisen, executive director of the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) Foundation, a not-for-profit association that promotes the benefits of making music.
Making music involves more than the voice or fingers playing an instrument; a child learning about music has to tap into multiple skill sets, often simultaneously. For instance, people use their ears and eyes, as well as large and small muscles, says Kenneth Guilmartin, cofounder of Music Together, an early childhood music development program for infants through kindergarteners that involves parents or caregivers in the classes.
"Music learning supports all learning. Not that Mozart makes you smarter, but it's a very integrating, stimulating pastime or activity," Guilmartin says.
Language Development
"When you look at children ages two to nine, one of the breakthroughs in that area is music's benefit for language development, which is so important at that stage," says Luehrisen. While children come into the world ready to decode sounds and words, music education helps enhance those natural abilities. "Growing up in a musically rich environment is often advantageous for children's language development," she says. But Luehrisen adds that those inborn capacities need to be "reinforced, practiced, celebrated," which can be done at home or in a more formal music education setting.
According to the Children's Music Workshop, the effect of music education on language development can be seen in the brain. "Recent studies have clearly indicated that musical training physically develops the part of the left side of the brain known to be involved with processing language, and can actually wire the brain's circuits in specific ways. Linking familiar songs to new information can also help imprint information on young minds," the group claims.
This relationship between music and language development is also socially advantageous to young children. "The development of language over time tends to enhance parts of the brain that help process music," says Dr. Kyle Pruett, clinical professor of child psychiatry at Yale School of Medicine and a practicing musician. "Language competence is at the root of social competence. Musical experience strengthens the capacity to be verbally competent."
