The Role Of Music In Enhancing The Learning Ability Of Students

By Kristine Wells


With the many academic lessons to attend to and quizzes and examinations to prepare for, little or no or no time at all can be devoted to extra-curricular activities. It's crucial to note that there should be a good balance of academic and non-academic learning among children so that they can achieve more and become better adults in the future.

Math can really be a difficult and "frightening" subject matter to those who have an aversion to numbers. But with the help of music, one can learn to appreciate and apply mathematical concepts with ease. The study of pitch and rhythm in music does a good job in letting one understand numbers, spatial relationships, shapes, and ratios, just to name a few.

The rewards of learning the right way to sing or play a musical instrument are not only evident in one's academic performance or standing. A person having background in music is seen to be a disciplined individual, considering that juggling school work and attending music sessions can be fairly difficult to do. Going to music school also involves meeting people from different walks of life and from various age groups which is actually a good way to hone one's social skills. Kids learn to cooperate and communicate not only with one other, but with adults as well.

Integration of music in a range of academic concepts enables students to appreciate their classroom lessons more. As a result, they become more interested in what is being discussed and they're able to help themselves better understand whatever message the instructor wants to impart. In the end, they have this sense of accomplishment knowing that they've learned something new, therefore earning the confidence to face new and tougher challenges later on.

If you see that your child exhibits interest in learning a musical instrument, grab every opportunity to fulfill that. Start by finding time to familiarize yourself with the different music schools in your locality. Regardless of whether it's voice, guitar, piano, violin, or Drum lessons that your child would like to take up, your choice of music school may be based on client feedback, reputation, and quality of instruction. There are one on one and group sessions for most instruments, but note that Singapore Drum Lessons may be best mastered on a one to one teacher to student ratio. Work around your child's existing school schedule and choose which time and day is best for the both of you.
