Benefits of Learning Music
Playing an orchestra music instrument helps a child academically. When children learn to play music their brains begin to hear and process sounds that they couldn’t otherwise hear. This helps develop “neurophysiological” distinction between certain sounds that can aid in literacy which can translate into improved academic skills for children. The structured music lessons significantly enhance children cognitive abilities including language-based reasoning, short-term memory, planning and inhibition which lead to improved academic performance.
Regularly playing instrument teaches a child perseverance, discipline and responsibility which are important skills for accomplishing anything in life. Playing music also fills the child with a sense of accomplishment, after all a child feels good about mastering a chord or instrument. Duration of music and music participation impacts academic achievement.
