If you want to develop brain development in children, teach them music.
Music, the universal language of mood, emotion and desire, connects us to a wide range of neural systems. We now know from controlled treatment and outcome studies that listening to and playing music is a powerful treatment for mental health problems. 400 published scientific papers have proven the ancient adage that 'music is a medicine'. Research even shows that adding music therapy to treatment improves the symptoms and social functioning of schizophrenics. Furthermore, music therapy has demonstrated efficacy as an independent treatment for reducing depression, anxiety and chronic pain. It is important that music education also accelerates brain development in young children, particularly in the area of the brain responsible for sound processing, language development, speech perception and reading skills, according to the first results of a five-year period. research by USC neuroscientists.
Music Education Kids
The Brain and Creativity Institute (BCI) at USC began its five-year study in 2012, in collaboration with the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association and the Heart of Los Angeles (HOLA), to investigate the impact of music education on the social, emotional and social aspects of children cognitive developmental. Their first study results show that music instruction accelerates the maturation of the auditory path in the brain and increases efficiency. The study, published in the journal Developmental Cognitive Neuroschience, provides evidence of the benefits of music education at a time when many schools in the United States and other countries have reduced or eliminated music and art programs.
