Reasoning Ability

• Through music, children build up spatial analysis. They will take the repetition of the measures in a music piece and formulate a mental image that makes sense. This type of learning accentuates the ability to reason out a situation.
  
  

Verbal Skills

• Music helps children with verbal skills, especially lyrical music. Through the presence of recurring poetry and the use of a bigger vocabulary, children learn to speak and write better.
  
  

Ear for Music

• Children learn to sing, develop an ear for music and also learn to identify musical notes correctly.
  
  

Math and Timing

• Music makes learning math easier. The rhythm of the music composition allows a child to learn counting and timing. Learning timing is also essential in time management, and consequently, responsibility in self-management.
  
  

Kinesthetics

• Music in early education fosters the ability to develop proprioception and/or kinesthesia, which translates to body awareness and tactile intelligence.
  
  

Review

• As you can see, there are many benefits to introducing music to children early on in education. Music should not be cut from school programs or forbidden from a child just because it isn't thought of as a way to put food on the table. It can make your child smarter in whatever he/she does.
