Students and adults who undergo musical training in
their education have more enhanced science skills and improved cognition, so
according to Journal Aesthetic Education are better equipped to learn mathematic
and solve complex problems. A musical trained brain in children shows neural
enhancement keeps evolving and unfolding over the time of their biological growth
hence becoming more rhythmic allowing a child to pick up patterns and visual
elements together. A study which was undertook by the university of Kansas and published
in 2007 has shown that students enrolling primary schools with strong and
advanced musical programs scored 22 percent higher in English and 20 percent
higher on standardized tests compared with weaker musical educational programs. My school music coordinator has introduced a new musical program a diversion from traditional old methods which involves only preforming memorized songs. Now a days I teach my students to listen to the musical beats and turn it to rhythmic patterns by using body percussions or percussions instruments while singing.
how interesting!! Thanks for sharing this.
