Although, there
have been various searches related to music and students psychology earlier to this
yet, Northwestern University this time has bring forth an amazing impact of
learning music. Researchers have concluded that music education greatly
influences the nervous systems of children and it is of great help in developing
their reading skills.
For studying
this amazing fact, a number of students were hooked to a neural probe. The
whole procedure was organized to see how easily children distinguished similar
speech sounds. There were two categories; the first group comprised of kids with
two years of music education and the second had children with one year of
lessons. Doing so, they differentiated the response of their brains to the
music education. It was found that one year was not sufficient to have a perfect
impact. The findings of this experiment were astounding. First of all, it’s a
big mistake to take music education as a quick fix. It needs to be ongoing part
of their education for having an intense and lifelong effect on their listening
and learning skills.
Besides,
researchers have also proved that music education facilitates learning other
subjects. Making music includes much more than just voice and fingers playing
an instrument. While learning music one need to tap into multiple skill sets,
making best use of their ears, eyes and brain too. Another surprising fact is
that the children having their music lessons regularly are on an average three
IQ points higher than the others. It sharpens their senses, makes them
efficient and raises their grades!
