Why is music important to children? This issue has been discussed for as long as time exists. Even the great Greek and Roman philosophers approached the question: what music should be taught, rather than help children’s development? Plato said: “I would teach children music, physics and philosophy, but most important is music, music mode and the key is to learn all the arts.” Again, “What is education? May be difficult to find a better than in the past have found the experience, including, I believe, in gymnastics, body and soul music. ” Music culture in the world have played an important role. While these roles may change in different culture is not separate music from personal life. Although some people may say, in our role of music in life can not escape. Even popular culture in Australia is not enough, do not listen to music shopping. Music provides a communication and expression of cultural and personal identity tool. Children are immersed in music since birth, his life. If this is the case, why learn? This is a constantly immersed in the music enough? For this, I mean every day we see the results of scientific principles, based on these principles in the scientific understanding of day? Is not music, it is not. We have daily contact with the music can touch us, but the understanding of such music can help us grow as individuals. In many cultures family an important role in music education.
Families are often those who teach children their culture’s music. As a small child, we often sing nursery rhymes. These provide children with fun and often repeated small fashion information. Structure of children through learning and repetition, which is broadcast in many nursery rhymes to teach basic life lessons, so all the music as an educational tool. Kids to learn music, and will continue until the end of their lives. And consumer culture in a globalized world dominated by identity is floating in the background and the children are more likely to sing pop songs as lullabies, nursery rhymes. In the nursery rhyme of all ages and learning has become a problem. Children miss important learning opportunities. Mozart effect, made 90 in the 20th century a large number of followers claimed that listening to Mozart’s baby will be more intelligent children. Although the campaign is short, and there is no evidence that it works can not deny that children who learn music will achieve their other aspects of academic life high. The income of the child to learn music to express their identity, gain confidence and develop a sense of space and time. A University of Munster in Germany research team found that students who study music are more developed abstract reasoning is closely related to science and mathematics learning skills. I do not see any reason in this matter music is an important part of children’s education should be seriously considered. Listening to music is not enough! Children must learn to think, as a musician, this is what will help to assist child development and academic development.
