dTeaching Music for kids or chi
Important?
"I would teach children music, physics, and philosophy; but most importantly music, for in the patterns of music and all arts are the keys to learning." Plato , philosopher
The Norwegian Research Council for Science and the Humanities has found a connection between studen
ts having musical competence and high motivation in that they were more likely to achieve success in school. They concluded that there is a high correlation between positive self-perception, high cognitive competence scores, self-esteem and interest and involvement in school music.

Winston, E.W.A two year study by UCI researchers provides the strongest evidence to date that exposure to music at an early age can enhance early childhood development of the brain.
The study involved 78 three-and four-year-old children of normal intelligence from three preschools in Southern California.

Thirty-four received private piano lessons, 20 received private computer instruction, ten received group singing lessons and 14 in a control group received no special lessons. None had prior music lessons or computer training. The results? Children who received basic piano instruction scored an average of 34 percent higher on tests of their reasoning skill

They are not being exposed to non-verbal tools that can assist them in reading, writing and math. Roehmann, Franz L. & Wilson
Using specific music allows you to do strenuous mental work while remaining relaxed and focused.
Without music the following physiological effects take place:
+ The pulse and blood pressure rise.
+ Brain waves speed up.
+ Muscles tense. With appropriate music the effects are as follows:
+ The pulse and blood pressure decrease.
+ The brain waves slow down.
+ The muscles relax.
The music Research found most conducive to this state is baroque music, like that of Bach, Handel, Pachelbel, and Vivaldi. These composers used very specific
beats and patterns that automatically synchronize our minds and our bodies. For instance, most baroque music is timed at sixty beats per minute, which is the same as an average resting heart rate. As you might know, the influence of baroque music is not limited to humans; in experiments, the plants grew lush foliage and large roots when baroque music was played to them, and they leaned toward the music as if toward the sun. (By the way, when exposed to acid rock music, these same plants shriveled and died.) It has been theorized that in very left-brain situations such as studying new material, music awakens the intuitive, creative right brain so that its input can be integrated into the whole process. Playing music is an effective way to occupy your right brain while concentrating on left-brain activities.

Practicing one’s profession successfully calls for skills in dealing with people, for being able to comprehend the connection between cause and effect, and for the ability to carry the burdens placed on the individual in a free society. The arts help to prepare the human mind for such needs." Norman Cousins, writer and educator.
lets the knowing about a music to we are kids like : guitar, piano, violin, drums, flute, or something :)kids.
