Music and Learning

Not listening but performing music may help improve your grades. By helping create framework for more productive brain activity. It’s nice to have a place to put things. I would compare this to having a file cabinet with millions of folders. Sometimes we need new founders or maybe we need to sort information from one folder in to many folders. It’s easy to store files when there is a folder already made or the path to the folder is well established. It’s like the path to memory is easier when it’s traveled more.

This article listed below is something that will influence me to encourage my children to play some kind of interment. I believe that practice makes perfect & conditioning are pertinent to education. It’s just too bad I hadn’t known this year’s ago, would have come in handy.

  1. I also agree...performing music opens your mind and just makes your stress levels go way down and i beleive that when i perform music that it does improve my grades. I think that the process of performing just clears the though process in your brain and allows so much more stuff to be programmed into memory.

  2. I agree with this as well, being an amateur piano player myself. I have heard that playing an instrument of any kind utilizes both hemispheres of the brain and in most cases, being able to read sheet music usually shows and increases in mathematical abilities and comprehension. And yes, performing music can reduce blood pressure (at least with any slow, soothing song vs. a fast, upbeat one) by a considerable amount.
