Music helps children?

Why music is important for children?

This issue has been debated for long time has existed. Even the great Greek and Roman philosophers approached the question, music is something that should be taught and does not contribute to the development children? Plato said: "I would teach children music, physics and philosophy, but especially music, as in the patterns music and all arts are the keys to learning. "and even" What is education to be? Maybe we could no better than the experience the past has already discovered, that is, I think, gymnastics, body and music for the mind. "

In all cultures the world of music plays an important role. Although these features may change according to culture, it is impossible to separate the music from the life of an individual. While some argue that in May the paper of music in our lives, it is impossible to escape. Even in popular culture in Australia, it is impossible to shop without listening to music. Music is a means of communication and expression of culture and individual identity.

The children are immersed in music since birth and will be for life. If so, why Why teach? No constant immersion in music enough? What I am saying is that we are witnessing the results of scientific directors a daily basis results in the understanding of scientific principles? No, no, not the music is not. Day by day we find with music we can, but the understanding of this music can help us grow as individuals.

In many cultures, the family plays the main role in music education. Families are more often those who teach music to children of their culture. As young children, often singing lullabies. They provide entertainment for children and often repeated information small. Children learn through repetition and structure Information has been done in many nursery rhymes to teach basic lessons of life and therefore defines music as a means to educate. Children learning music at an early age and continue through the rest of their lives. In a world where globalization and consumerism dominate lullaby cultural identities are drifting in the background and children are more likely to be singing pop songs, like the rhyme. The advantage of the rhymes and progressive learning has become a problem. Children do not benefit from basic learning opportunities.

The Mozart Effect, which has won many adherents in the 1990s argued that listening to Mozart as a baby will make a child smarter. Although this move was short lived and there is little evidence that the works can not deny that children who learn music is to achieve higher in other aspects of their academic life. By winning the song to teach children to express their identity, trust each other and develop a sense time and space. A research team from the University of Munster in Germany, discovered that students who study music are more developed abstract reasoning skills, which are closely related to the learning of science and mathematics.

I do not think there is no argument in this topic … Music is a vital part of educating a child and must be taken seriously. Listening to music is not enough! A child must learn to think musically and this will help assist in child development and academic development.
