Most researchers agree that music education is greatly beneficial to children. Besides studies of the “Mozart effect,” in that listening to classical music can improve intelligence, music education promotes socio-emotional development, encourages creativity, grants abilities to identify patterns and solve problems, it also helps to give students patience, self confidence, and a leg up on how to learn difficult skills through continuous practice.
