Music’s influence or role in the field of education includes: developing children’s intelligence, exercising children’s attention, and cultivating children’s perception.
1. It can develop children’s intelligence.
Music plays a very important role in developing human intelligence, which is in line with the laws of the human brain. Music activities enable children's brains to gain more neural connections by combining listening and singing. Familiar melodies and rhythms in music require the participation of the right brain. Music training mainly relies on the coordination of both hands to promote the thinking of the left and right hemispheres of the brain, thereby promoting the development and utilization of young children's brains.
2. It can train children’s attention and concentration.
Children’s music education is an art based on hearing, which plays a key role in focusing children’s attention and improving their memory. When teachers guide children to appreciate music, children will improve their ability to identify the rhythm, pitch, timbre and other aspects of music in the process of listening to music. Music education also plays a very important role in cultivating children's good ideological and moral character.
3. It can cultivate children’s perception, memory and imagination.
Practice has proven that music education can cultivate children's ability to perceive the direction of sound. When children listen to music, their bodies will move according to the melody in the music, which means that the children's hands, feet and body will move up, down, left, right or back and forth. Music games and dance learning both play an important role in children's spatial orientation perception. For example, when children participate in group activities, their individual positions or team formations change.
