The Benefits of Music for Young Children
Young children just love music and often it is through music that young children communicate for the first time, whether it be through gesture, smiling or action.
But is there more to it than that?
There is a growing amount of evidence to show that music enhances a childs ability to think, learn, reason and create and it is in the first five years of a child’s life that all of the formative brain development and connections are being formed. Music brain researcher, Dr Gordon Shaw describes music as “a window into higher brain Function”.

Kids Music – The Benefits of Educational Music For Kids
It is interesting to observe how fast children learn when they are young! Research supports our observations that learning experiences must begin in the early years from birth to age five. This is a critical time in a child’s musical and cognitive development. The benefits of music and movement in the preschool years have been well documented. Research studies show that music enhances brain development and academic learning. Music affects many areas of brain function and neurological development. Many levels of neurological readiness exist in children, and music is a powerful enhancer at each stage of neurological development. The earlier a child is exposed to music and movement, the better. Research findings include:
- Children who receive early music training score higher on standardized tests.
- The use of music during learning can increase a child’s IQ.
- Young children who take music lessons show different brain development and improved memory over the course of a year compared to children who do not receive musical training. •
- There is a link between spatial reasoning and participation in music and movement activities.
