The Benefits of Music Education
Music education can be a potent tool for children to develop skills and abilities. Learning a musical instrument can be very beneficial for all students.
Here are some benefits of music education:
- Increased IQ
Back in 2004, the University of Toronto conducted research and compared the IQ performance of children who were taking music lessons and no lessons at all.
The children who were taking music lessons showed
more significant increases in IQ scores than
those in the other group.
- Better Social and Psychological Outcomes
Studies have shown that students were more cooperative, more self-confident and better able to express their ideas.
- Better Memory and Attention
Music education can also help children who take music lessons to have a better memory. These children can also have a greater ability to focus their attention.
- Stronger Neural System
How many times have we heard that music therapy has helped many people recover from their health problems? According to several scientific research, children who are involved in music training have more significant growth in neural activity. It is also said that music training has even been shown to delay the onset of dementia.

Learning a musical instrument can improve our ability to how we understand languages. This means that a student who is taking music lessons can learn words quicker and have a richer vocabulary.
Music education has many benefits to all people of all ages. It’s all about understanding and expressing ourselves better, understanding the world better and broaden our horizons.
