Literature ReviewThis complex problem of music education has been studied for many years. Some disciplines move away from each other to conduct studies and analyze its results. Music educators tend to study how music education came to be. They are strong advocates for music education because of the benefits the programs provide. Psychologists have carried out studies around the world to see what the effects of musical knowledge are. With so many studies done, so many results are gathered and interpreted to show that music is a key factor in learning. This discovery was controversial and has been contested, like any theory. As there is growing evidence in favor of music programs in schools, the negative aspects do not seem to stand up to argument. Music teachers and psychologists aren't the only ones studying how music education affects children's learning. Scientists have also conducted studies to see exactly which part of the brain works when children play an instrument. Politicians, like them, use test results to determine which programs to keep in schools. If the program doesn't matter, they're cut off. Since music is not a core subject in schools, it is an easy target for funding cuts. Many areas of the educational field also use music to implement lessons. In physical education classes, music is used for dances and motor skills. The importance of music education is everywhere. Everyone who has ever heard a voice has heard music. It's all around us and every discipline is related to this topic. It has been argued that the study of music improves academic achievement. The research was brought to the attention of the general American public with the belief that listening... middle of article ... the experiment involved memorizing a list of words without background music; participants also remembered these words 48 hours later. Participants who memorized word lists with background music recalled more words, demonstrating that music provides contextual cues. This wasn't the only study done with background music. Rauscher (1993) conducted a study with elementary school children in which students were placed in a maze. The children were first placed in the maze and allowed to exit freely. It takes students about 10 minutes to find their way. The second test was a different maze, but music was played during it. The students took an average of 5 minutes to complete the maze. Afterwards, students described that the music helped them navigate the maze because they felt relaxed. This was a great study to show that music also helps with spatial tasks..
