RESEARCH INDICATES
ALL OF THE FOLLOWING
YOUR
BENEFITS OF MUSIC LESSONS INCLUDE:
- Here is some of the wonderful research that has been
done to show the tremendous benefits of music lessons for young people
- By means of music, we can assist children
to come to maturity in many ways. "Music confers non-musical benefits
that have particular consequences for pupils with special needs. Music contributes to: reasoning
ability, reading skills, feelings and response, personal fulfillment,
language development, the promotion of communication, motor control and
physical well-being, positive attitudes to school, socializing and
pleasurable experiences in a group" (From Walker, A. (1996). And
Ear For Music. In J. Piotrowski (ed.), Expressive Arts In The Primary
School (pp. 38-48). London: Cassell.)
- Social Skills are the foundation for
getting along with others. A lack of Social Skills can lead to
behavioral difficulties in school, delinquency, inattentiveness, peer
rejection, emotional difficulties, bullying, difficulty in making
friends, aggressiveness, problems in interpersonal relationships, poor
self-concept, academic failures, concentration difficulties, isolation
from peers, and depression. Children often need additional training in
Social Skills, and music helps immensely.
- Research
indicates that listening to and creating music develops better auditory
processing and communication skills. Music also helps those with
difficulties in regulation mood and frustration levels due to
processing difficulties. Researchers have found that the musical
portion of the brain is frequently unimpaired in children with learning
disabilities. In all children, there is a direct correlation between
the musical portion of the brain and the language area in the opposite
hemisphere in children. Filtered and gaited musical sound patterns can
lead to a better understanding of language sound patterns. Therefore
music instruction ultimately will translate into better communication
skills. These social skills include daily interaction skills such as
sharing, taking turns, and allowing others to talk without
interrupting. The category of social skills can also be expanded to
facets of self-control such as appropriate anger management. For many
children, social skills are learned by observing how others in their
environment handle social situations.
- Music
lessons have lifelong value for both children and adults. Learning to
play an instrument helps improve fine motor skills and hand-eye
coordination. Practicing helps children learn to focus and organize
their days, improves abstract thinking ability, and enhances aural,
tactile, visual and analytical memory. These skills can translate into
higher academic performance. Just 15 minutes a week of private
keyboard instruction, along with group singing at pre-school,
dramatically improved a kind of intelligence needed for high-level math
and science, suggests a new study. Music lessons appear to strengthen
the links between brain neurons and build new spatial reasoning, says
psychologist Frances Rauscher of University of California-Irvine. "Music instruction can improve a
child's spatial intelligence for long periods of time ~ perhaps
permanently," Rauscher told the American Psychological
Association meeting here. Her study compared 19 pre-schoolers who took
the lessons and 14 classmates enrolled in no special music programs.
After eight months, she found: A 46% boost in spatial IQ's for the
young musicians and a 6% improvement for children not taught music.
- Rees feels that involvement in high
school music lessons and programs helps students develop the skills
necessary for a variety of occupations. Rees states: "Successful music students tend to
possess the qualities and skills that are generally considered
essential to employers in business, education and service
organizations." She also recognizes that music education
assists students in improving their writing, communication skills and
DOES improve analytical skills. Rees further states that, to be
succesful in music takes a great deal of self-discipline and notes that
"music majors have
the highest SAT scores in all areas."
- Fred Hargadon, former Dean of Admissions
for Stanford University, in a 1983 interview with Stauffer said, "We look for students who have taken
part in orchestra, symphonic band, chorus and drama. It shows a level
of energy and an ability to organize time that we are after here. It
shows that they can carry a full academic load and learn something
else. It means that these particular students already know how to get
involved, and that's the kind of campus we want to have."
- Music participation does have a positive
impact on reading. A reading program in New York dramatically improved
reading achievement scores by including music and art in the
curriculum. Winston writes about how learning to read music enhances the
student's ability to perform the skills necessary for reading,
listening, anticipating, forecasting, memory training, recall skills,
concentration techniques and speed reading. It has also been found that
music students can out-perform non-music students on achievement tests
in reading and math. Referring to reading and communication
skills, Kuffler recognized the contributions the arts can make to the
development of perceptual and cognitive skills.
- There are similar studies in the area of mathematics that
show gains in test scores in math for music students when compared to
non-music students. Maltester found that increased instruction
in music can lead to increased learning in mathematics. A study
conducted in the Albuquerque, New Mexico public schools concluded by
comparing all areas of the California Test of Basic Skills (CTBS). It
was found that music students in
an instrumental class for two or more years scored significantly higher
than non-music students. Grace Nash, an Arizona music educator,
has found that incorporating music into mathematics lessons has enabled
students to learn multiplication tables and math formulas more easily.
- The Norwegian Research Council for
Science and the Humatnities has found a connection between students
having musical competence and high motivation in that they were more
likely to achieve success in school. They concluded that there is a high
correlation between positive self-perception, high cognitive competence
scores, self-esteem, and interest and involvement in school music. Whitwell
came to much the same conclusion and contends that creative
participation in music improves self-image, self-awareness and creates
positive attitudes about oneself. Marshall found that involvement and
achievement in school music builds positive self-image, which is a
motivation for academic learning among urban black middle school
students.
- It has also been found that, through
involvement in music activities on the high school level, individuals
learn improved self-esteem. Sward, in writing about Fred Miller,
president of the Miller Summer Clinics, says that Miller has found that
musical
experiences "instill: 1) positive attitude; 2) positive self image; 3)
desire to achieve excellence; 4) co-operation; 5) group cohesiveness;
and 6) ability to set goals." Eisner writes about the importance
of arts in education because they develop intellectual and aesthetic
abilities.
- There are a number of studies that show a
connection between music and the development of the brain. Dr. Frank
Wilson is an assistant clinical professor of neurology at the
University of California School of Medicine, San Francisco. He reports
that his studies show that
instrumental practice enhances coordination, concentration and memory,
and also brings about the improvement of eyesight and hearing. He
further reports that the process of learning to play an instrument
refines the development of the brain and the entire neurological system
(Mueller, 1984). In a speech at the California
Educators Association State Convention on March 17, 1989, Dr. Wilson
said he has found that, through music, people become an active
participant in their own physiological development. Wilson says that
people can discover themselves and a sense of self in community through
musical involvement. His research
has shown that involvement in Music connects and develops the motor
systems of the brain in a way that cannot be done by any other activity.
In support of this, Dr. Wilson shared recent data from UCLA brain scan
research studies which shows that music more fully involves brains
functions (both left and right hemispheres) than any other activites
studied. Dr. Wilson feels these
findings are so significant that it will lead to a universal
understanding in the next century that music is an absoluate necessity
for the total development of the brain and the individual. [Music
lessons are, therefore, indispensible in the life of the child.]
- A separate study shows that performance
in music develops the intellect. These musical activities train the
brain in aesthetic literacy and the students' perceptual, imaginative
and visual abilities (Sinatra, 1986). Whitwell (1977) deals with the left brain/right brain issue. He
says that when one talks about music, that person is using the left
side of the brain. In order to
utilize the right side of the brain, one must creatively produce in an
activity such as music, [particularly piano music.]
Whitwell says the "music is an
independent, separate, unique form of intellect, a form of intellect
through which man can communicate directly in its own inherent form (P.
9). This seems to confirm Wilson's contention that music does have a
developmental impact on the brain. Whitwell
chides the educational system for only educating half a brain.
He points our that most attention or daydreaming problems can be solved
by involving the right side of the brain in the learning process.
Whitwell says that the complete
person must have equal access to both domains (left and right brain) of
understanding, and this access has to include a creative activity such
as the performance of music. [Playing the piano is the single greatest
endeavor to gain access to both domains (left and right brain).]
- Tedd Judd, in a speech at the 1984
conference on the Biology of Music-Making entitled, "A Neurologist
Looks at Musical Behavior", comes to the conclusion that involvement in music engages many parts
of the interconnected brain (Roehmann, 1988). Dr. Jean Houston
of the Foundation for Mind Research says that children without access to an arts
program are actually damaging their brain. They are not being exposed
to non-verbal modalities which help them learn skills like reading,
writing and math much more easily (Roehmann, 1988).
