The power of music: Its impact on the intellectual, social and personal development of children and young people
TLDR
In this article, the authors reviewed the empirical evidence relating to the effects of active engagement with music on the intellectual, social and personal development of children and young people, and suggested that the positive effects of engagement with musical skills on personal and social development only occur if it is an enjoyable and rewarding experience.Abstract:
This paper reviews the empirical evidence relating to the effects of active engagement with music on the intellectual, social and personal development of children and young people. It draws on research using the most advanced technologies to study the brain, in addition to quantitative and qualitative psychological and educational studies. It explains how musical skills may transfer to other activities if the processes involved are similar. It explores the evidence relating to the impact of musical skills on language development, literacy, numeracy, measures of intelligence, general attainment, creativity, fine motor co-ordination, concentration, self-confidence, emotional sensitivity, social skills, team work, self-discipline, and relaxation. It suggests that the positive effects of engagement with music on personal and social development only occur if it is an enjoyable and rewarding experience. This has implications for the quality of the teaching.read more
