August 6, 2020July 26, 2018 by Marjorie Hahn

TWELVE BENEFITS OF MUSIC EDUCATION

RECENT STUDIES FROM THE CHILDREN’S MUSIC WORKSHOP

(Students who study the arts do better in standardized testing)

1. Early Music Education helps develop brain areas involved in language and

reasoning

2. Music education research shows a causal link between music and spatial

intelligence (the ability to perceive the world accurately and form mental

pictures of things)

3. Think creatively and solve problems

4. Better scores on standardized tests and higher grades in school

5. Development of empathy and compassion for other people and cultures

6. Idea of good craftsmanship toward what constitutes Good as opposed to

Mediocre work

7. The value of sustained effort to achieve excellence and concrete rewards

8. Teamwork skills and discipline

9. Self esteem through self expression

10. Develop multidimensional and flexible doing and performing skills with

good communication as opposed to simply observing

11. Learn to conquer fears and build good mental health to take good risks

12.Gaining a glimpse of the Incomparable
