Why Music Education Is Important When educational cuts are made, music and art are amongst the first subjects to go. Unfortunately, it means that parents, educators and even board members are overlooking each subject`s importance. Music education is more than just introducing students to beats, notes and songs. Instead, it completely transforms a child`s mind and opens up endless possibilities to their learning potential. One of the most notable studies on music and the brain, the Mozart Effect, began as a college research experiment.
Learning a piece from memory has so many different positive factors and develops a musician to the best of their ability. Although it can be difficult to do and master, it is worth the hard work. The end result seems to be much more rewarding than if the score was being used in a performance. Firstly, memorizing allows the performer to connect with their audience. A score can really prohibit a relationship between the two.
It unites the community in the pursuit of a common goal – Potter.” Although some of the allegations may be true about the people of today’s social “universes” becoming smaller with the use of technology, there is proof that technology can do the opposite as well. It is how we use it that it will affect us. And although Kidd has a good argument for novels such as Harry Potter bringing the people of the world together, music has an even better argument. One thing people will always share and that will unite us all is music and the effect it has on us. No matter what type of music you prefer to listen to, there are others out there who listen to, not only the same style of music but the same musicians as well.
Faster, smaller, and electronic are all qualities of recently invented toys. Toys also affect the way children use their imagination. By making toys faster, it will keep the children more entertained. They cannot focus on one thing for a long time without getting bored.

James Tirtowijoyo Young Professor Fasano LART 211 20 April 2012 Night Owl Students Can Learn Better Many students choose to study at night because there are fewer distractions at night so that they can concentrate better and do well on their study. On the contrary, many people believe that staying up late is not healthy because lack of sleep will lower one’s brain performance and mess your biological time. However, there are some cases that many students find nighttime as the only time they can get a perfect condition for their brain to study and process information as it is quiet, calm, and peaceful. There are also some ways to maintain yourself to get enough sleep time as the cost of getting a good study environment is their sleep time. Since we were still in elementary school, secondary school, and even until we go into college, our days are usually packed with many activities, inside or outside school, five to six days a week.
Making music involves more than the voice or fingers playing an instrument; a child learning about music has to tap into multiple skill sets, often simultaneously. For instance, people use their ears and eyes, as well as large and small muscles, says Kenneth Guilmartin, cofounder of Music Together, an early childhood music development program for infants through kindergarteners that involves parents or caregivers in the classes. “Music learning supports all learning. Not that Mozart makes you smarter, but it’s a very integrating, stimulating pastime or activity,” Guilmartin says. Language Development “When you look at children ages two to nine, one of the breakthroughs in that area is music’s benefit for language development, which is so important at that stage,” says Luehrisen.
And it easily adapts. We exercise our brain every day stimulation does improve the brain function also it can grow new neurons. Severe mental decline is usually caused by disease, whereas most age-related losses in memory or motor skills simply result from inactivity and a lack of mental exercise and stimulation. In other words, use it or lose it. Only recently have scientists been able to learn how the neural network of the brain forms.
Hard work on a particular topic with full dedication and focus pertaining to his own fields of interest will surely make him achieve his goals. While coming to academics, both the intelligence and hard work comes into play very often. But, the harder they work, the more likely they will achieve greater academic success. Generally individuals with high Intellegence don't have to try that hard in school to get good or average grades; that is until high school and college. Hard work is something learned through being challenged and if a child is not challenged in their early years of education they will typically slack off in their high school and college years when hard work becomes key to success.
Is Homework Overpowering Students? All around the country, students from year 8 to year 14 are victims of an overload of busy work to stuff into their schoolbags to take home and complete. With the opinion that this work needed to be done outside of school is beneficial and will reinforce the subjects that were just taught, teachers are assigning students at least thirty minutes of homework per subject, resulting in a ridiculous pile-up of work for all subjects. The school system is unjustified in allowing teachers to give unlimited amounts of homework because they don’t take into consideration the things students deal with outside of school and it ends up having negative effects on children mentally, physically, and emotionally. As students get older, the amount of work they receive gets larger.
There are more important class than one that requires students run around for an hour, and the fact that all students are put into one class, rather than being separated by physical level of fitness and skill in sports, only makes it all the more unfair. To add to it, the class seems to take priority over other classes. Why should students that plan on pursuing a career in music be forced to spend their time in a gym class? While completely removing gym from the school course isn’t a great idea, allowing it to be a chosen class rather than a required class could help students focus on their own goals. School enforces a healthy lifestyle, and that makes sense and is a good goal for schools to have.
