The Power of Music: The Effect of Music on Cognitive Abilities

According to a recent survey by Lab 42, over 45% of people listen to music for at least 10 hours per week. In addition, Gallup poll shows that in 2003, 54% of American households included at least one instrumentist. Obviously, music is an important part of people's lives, but in addition to providing fun as an extra-curious hobby, you can learn music for other purposes. Many people insist on whether music is an important part of education. Currently, less than 50% of 8th grade students in elementary school throughout the country are receiving art education at school, and students have reached a high level of activities related to music and art, as described in the National Education Evaluation Report Is not ...

In one study, we examined the effects of music education on non-music abilities, the impact of music lessons on academic performance, and the cognitive ability. According to the survey, the students taking the music course showed high IQ in IQ. (Source: Glenn Schellenberg, Music Curriculum, IQ, Psychology, Volume 15, No. 8, 2004.) Recent research found that the majority (96%) of principals were able to participate in music education . Encourage them and motivate them. Students are at school. In addition, 89% of the principal think that the high school music education program improves the school's graduation rate. (Source: Harris Interactive Poll, 2006.)

Promising areas of music influence on cognitive abilities arise from the actual learning of instruments. Studies have shown that children trained in music show an increase in intellectual ability. However, the reason behind it is unknown and may be complicated. It may not be the music itself to produce this effect, but it is more activities related to learning music, such as concentration, repeated exercise, lectures, homework and so on.

The impact of music education and its children 's intelligence: Systematic review of abstracts: The transition between music education and other cognitive skills (such as academic records) has been extensively studied. However, discoveries similar to those in the cognitive field proved to be uncertain or contradictory. These differences are traced back to the analysis method used, the differences in the form of music education studied, and the difference in neural activity during processing of these tasks. In order to better understand the relationship, literature research was conducted from January 2001 to January 2013 in major databases such as PubMed / MedLine, psychoINFO, ScienceDirect, Embase, ERIC, ASSIA, Jstor. All studies were included, focusing on remote relocation of children from 4 to 13 years of age from music education to other cognitive skills compared to the control group. Generally it is necessary to unify the methods used in music education research
