The Importance of Music Education

Whether you or your child has a talent in music or not, learning music facilitates learning other subjects. Having an education in music is as important as any other discipline. Music is known as one of the most universal languages in the world.

Mary Luehrisen, executive director of the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) Foundation, explains the importance of music education as follows:

“A music-rich experience for children of singing, listening, and moving is really brought very serious benefits to children as they progress into more formal learning.”

Every young person likes music. But listening to music and having musical education are two different concepts. Various research, like the study at Northwestern University, proves how important music education is. The study shows that students who play a musical instrument have better neural processing compared with the students who simply listen to any kind of music.

Here are some benefits that confirm the importance of music education:

1. 
   Music is a great way to connect with other people.
   
2. 
   Music improves brain development and increases IQ.
   
3. 
   Music teaches children discipline.
   
4. 
   Music reduces stress.
   
5. 
   Music improves spatial-temporal skills.
