Music and the brain: the many benefits of learning music

Tuesday, July 10, 2018 by Dawn Riggett | Benfits of learning music

Studies have found that musical experiences in childhood can actually accelerate brain development, particularly in the areas of language acquisition, reading skills, help to strengthen memory skills and can improve mathematical learning.

But academic achievement isn’t the only benefit of a music education and exposure. Music ignites all areas of child development skills - intellectual,social, emotional and motor. It helps the body and the mind work together.

Most importantly though, music is fun and if your child is having fun, their brain is open to learning. Music can enliven and enrich the lives of children, get them moving, thinking and inspire creativity.

Music and me provides piano lessons for children and adults. Lessons are tailored to each individual student to encourage musical development and creativity.
