Regular music practice improves memory and stimulates mental development in children, say Canadian scientists who published the results of their research in the Oxford journal Brain.
They were the first to discover the connection between music and the ability to concentrate.
One year after the start of the activities, the observed children showed higher results on memory tests, which are related to such indicators of general intellectual development as literacy, mathematical thought and level of intelligence.
The data from the tests are also confirmed by the results of a brain scan.
The researchers from Hamilton University and the University of Toronto note that these findings will please anyone who believes that music should become part of the preschool and elementary school curriculum.
Experts recommend that children start their music lessons as early as 4 years old.
Most interesting is the claim of the scientists that the brains of children engaged in music begin to perceive musical sounds significantly better, while the total volume of memory increases. (a)
