The_Affects_Of_Music_On_Children

The Affects Of Music On Children Music is no longer simply a way to relax and express your self anymore. Rather, it is a way to expand the brain’s faculties. From the beginning of life as a fetus until death music affects everyone’s lives. Indeed, it has been shown, that music has a profound effect on a child’s physical, intellectual and social development. To a great extent, through the early stages of childhood one can truly understand how worthwhile music is in a growing child’s life. The interest on how music affects young children began toward the latter part of the 19th century. Studies were taken up to determine an infant’s musical abilities. It appears that until the middle of the twentieth century, scientists failed to appreciate the capabilities of infants. They presumed that because infants lack speech and spend so much time eating and sleeping that not much cognition was going on inside an infant’s head. That view was largely displaced with the fact that infants have considerable musical abilities. For example, infants can perceive and distinctly remember not only the contour, but also the pattern of rising and falling pitches in a piece of music. music, children, one, way, fetus, musical, reasoning, people, therapy, sounds, sound, pp, infants, first, been, band, affects, ability, two, test, study, stimulus, rate, question, postnatal, parents, loud, lessons, heart, effects, development, birth, article, after, year
