Music and young minds
1 ____ Plato once said that music “is a more potent
instrument than any other for education”. Many teachers of
young children would agree with him. Recent research has
4 discovered that music activates both sides of the brain, a
fact that makes it valuable in all areas of development.
Music affects the growth of a child’s brain academically,
7 emotionally, physically and spiritually.
Music is academic. For some people, this is the
primary reason for providing music lessons to their
10 children. A recent study from the University of California
found that music trains the brain for higher forms of
thinking. Students who were given music lessons scored
13 27% higher on proportional math and fractions tests than
children who received no special instruction. Research
indicates that musical training permanently prepares a
16 young mind for better performance.
