One might ask, why do music, language and learning complement each other?
Without getting into the neuroscience of music and brain theories, the simple answer is that music involves or stimulates both sides of the brain, and when both hemispheres are engaged, we tap into more potential for cognitive growth or learning.
The other great aspect of music is that it’s auditory, visual, vocal, tactile and physical, and the more senses that are involved in an activity, the greater the capacity for learning and retention.
In a nutshell, one could say that music is an effective teaching strategy, and teaching strategies make learning highly transferable!
Music stimulates both sides of the brain, and when both hemispheres are engaged, we tap into more potential for learning.
Music is a multi-sensory experience, and the more senses that are involved in an activity (e.g., hearing, seeing, doing), the greater the capacity for learning and retention.
Music is universal and is accessible to anyone, regardless of age, gender, culture, intellectual or physical ability.
Music is structured, predictable, and repetitive, and these components are all essential parts of promoting speech and language skills.
