May in Music Class Singing by Robert Louis Stevenson | Of speckled eggs the birdie sings
And nests among the trees;
The sailor sings of ropes and things
In ships upon the seas. The children sing in far Japan,
The children sing in Spain;
The organ with the organ man
Is singing in the rain. |
Whether dancing around the living room or singing along to the radio, school-age kids love listening to — and participating in — music. There are loads of good reasons to encourage this enthusiasm. They do better in reading - learn coordination, goal-setting, concentration, and cooperation
- are more likely to do better in math and science because music helps build reasoning skills and cognitive development, which are important to both
- get along better with their peers and have higher self-esteem
- are more likely to go to college
