Why Music is Important

There is substantial evidence that learning to play music both enhances processing skills and benefits other cognitive abilities.

Musical skills have been shown to have a positive impact on language development, literacy, numeracy, intelligence, general attainment, creativity, fine motor co-ordination, concentration, self-confidence, emotional sensitivity, social skills, team work, self-discipline and relaxation.

• Creativity
  Studies of the effects of musical involvement among primary school pupils have shown significant increases in both creativity and in perceptual motor skills. These children scored higher than controls on transferable creativity, had higher levels of abstraction, and showed greater creativity in improvised play. They also demonstrated better motor development.

• Collaboration
  Studies in the UK with instrumental teachers working in schools reported considerable benefits of learning to play an instrument including the development of social skills; gaining a lifelong love and enjoyment of music; developing effective team-work; developing a sense of achievement, confidence and self-discipline; and developing physical co-ordination.

• Language
  When we listen to music or speech they rapidly and unconsciously process a huge volume of information. The ease with which they do this depends on prior musical and linguistic experience. This knowledge is learned through exposure to music and speech, and is automatically applied whenever we listen to music or speech. Speech and music share some processing systems. So, musical experiences enhance processing and have an impact on the perception of language which in turn impacts on reading.
