1.Studying music in high school is good for young people.Unfortunately,students do not think of music studies as a useful subject in high schools.They always learn other subjects or sleep in music classes.However,educators have seen the great difference studying music has made in the minds and lives of their students.
Some studies find that children who study music have better grades.According to Robert A Cutietta and Harvey Mercadoocasio,authors of"Raising Musical Kids:A Guide for Parents","Students who study music in high school,as a group,have higher scores than those not in bands."
Studying music may not immediately lead to higher grades.It does,however,make students gain skills that can lead to success in tests.
Through listening to music,one can enjoy the joy which music may bring into his life.Performing as a musician increases this joy,while developing self-confidence.According to Cutietta and Mercadoocasio,"Being involved in (參與) music in a meaningful (and knowledgeable) way will add greatly to the quality of your child's life.It increases brain power along the way."
Studying music as a high school student allows teenagers to develop many healthy and productive habits that will carry over into their adult lives,giving them a push towards a successful life.In addition to these habits,studying music really changes the brain in some way,as well.
"Kids who receive music training often make great progress in math studies."According to Newsweek.It quotes psychologist Maritn Grdiner:"they just shoot ahead in math.This can't be explained by attention alone.There is something specific between music and math."
