Feb 7, 2024 · Music has a remarkable effect on brain development in young children. Research suggests that exposure to music from an early age can stimulate neural pathways, leading to enhanced cognitive abilities such as memory, attention, and problem-solving skills.
- Music teaches perseverance and the positive outcome of hard work. Courage, resiliency and determination are invaluable traits that build young musicians into successful adults from the ground up.
- Kids learn to create short and long-range goals and to manage failure along the way. Music asks us to practise and focus on details. It asks us to pay attention to the sound quality of even a single note and asks us to focus on a rhythm and work at it until we get it exactly right.

Let us begin by discussing what happens in the brain when we listen to and make music. First, how do you think sound travels from your ears to your brain? When you hear any type of sound, including sound of music, the sound first enters the ear and travels through the ear canal to the eardrum. The eardrum vibrates—just like a drum that has been str...
One of the main brain areas that receives the signal from the auditory nerve is called the auditory cortexThe “hearing” region of the brain, located above the ears, that processes hearing information like pitch and loudness. (Figure 1). The primary auditory cortex is deep inside the brain, right above the left and right ears, and it helps us decide...
Another important brain area for playing music is the primary motor cortexThe part of the brain that provides production of movement by sending signal to the muscles via long nerve fibers.. The primary motor cortex, located on the top of the brain, forms a shape that looks like a headband from ear to ear (Figure 2). It connects not only to other pa...
Music benefits you socially and emotionally, too! Drumming and moving with others can help you get along better with them . Singing in choir every day also makes young musicians more generous and likely to share rewards with others . We know this because researchers have done specific experiments on it. In one, researchers asked kids to decide whet...
