Music Enhances Verbal Communication Skills
A recent study has been done titled Musicians Have Enhanced Subcortical Auditory and Audiovisual Processing of Speech and Music. It’s been found that music training may be more important for enhancing verbal communication skills than learning phonics.
All the more reason for children to learn music at a young age!
I like what Tim Smith of Critical Mass has to say about this study:
“If only governments, local and federal, could ever fully grasp the significance of such findings. Maybe we could finally see the day when arts are as valued as sports, starting from the earliest school days. How promising that could make the prospect of all the next generations to come.”
