In our society today, it is almost guaranteed that every person has in one way or another been involved or influenced by music. Some enjoy it, others make a career out of it and still others dedicate their lives to it. It's not uncommon to meet someone who has taken some form of music lessons and learned the art of sound. This includes people like me, a dedicated pianist, who has taken lessons once a week for 9 years. The impact of music lessons on these students is almost limitless, but what about in the classroom? Is it possible to somehow apply the skills developed through persistent practice and performance to taking tests or writing essays? Perhaps learning an instrument somehow shapes the brain to better retain information. The evidence certainly seems to suggest that there is indeed a correlation between music lessons and academic performance. Most students receiving music lessons average one lesson per week, typically lasting 30 minutes to an hour. It is a long period of sustained concentration on a specific task. These students will have to go home and, throughout the week, practice the pieces they have learned. It is unlikely to be accurate in all elements of a piece on the first try. In fact, there are often problem areas that require more practice to play successfully. This increases the level of perseverance and perseverance among these students. The physical act of playing an instrument increases coordination and fine motor skills, usually in the fingers, and for wind and horn instruments, the respiratory system is greatly developed. These skills – concentration, perseverance, perseverance, motor skills, as well as others including developed teamwork, confidence and performance skills, are all applied in one way or another in various subjects by through education.
