Having children participate in sports,
band and extra curricular activities is a positive way of getting them involved
in the community and developing necessary social skills.
The influence of music may actually do more
than just having your child meet new friends, or build upon a passion and learn
new songs. In fact, research has proven
that teaching music increases math and literacy skills in children of all ages.
Uncovering the research behind the
statement showed two groups of children where one group studied music while the
other did not. In the group that studied
music, the children showed a greater improvement in literacy, math and IQ. To read the full report visit http://www.ehow.com/about_7231124_music-affect-reading-math-scores_.html
The dreaded four letter word M-A-T-H is
often feared among children and even adults.
We are quick to say, “I am not good at math.” The idea that you are poor at math transfers over
to a more difficult time learning it.
Instilling a positive image for your children throughout their life,
including math, will reduce frustrations and help provide a stimulating
learning environment that welcomes math instead of cringing at the thought.
Improve math skills while learning a new
instrument and enjoying the sound of music.
What instrument does your child want to learn? Tell us in the comments
