Skill Development with Music

Skill Development with Music

Skill development impacts academic and social skills. Even a brief period, such as two or three years of musical training, accelerates brain development and sound processing. This short period of time significantly enhances a child’s capacity for language acquisition.

There are many experts that have researched just how much music affects our brains. Dr. Gottfried Schlaug, an expert on music, neuroimaging and brain plasticity at Harvard has found that, “Music has the unique ability to go through alternative channels and connect different sections of the brain.” This unique aspect of music sharpens perceptive abilities and reasoning faculties.
