Music is one of the best hobbies you can take up whilst you are studying in school. Music is a part of everyone's lives, and each one has their own personal choices. Learning a musical instrument is an amazing experience and it teaches you a lot apart from just music. You learn to create, visualize and express yourself.
As Bob Marley said, "The one good thing about music, is that when it hits you, you feel no pain."
It's important to develop a taste in music from when you are young, and who knows, by the time you've grown up, you could be the next big thing. There are various various reasons, both scientific and behavioral as to why you should take up music from an early age. These are:
1) Children can play and enjoy their own music. While they may not develop professional talent, they will gain an understanding of music that will help them relax in the future. As they get older, consider music lessons. Qualified instructors can teach children how to play the piano, guitar, violin etc. a skill that they can use for life.
2) Music helps develop children's language skills: When young children listen to familiar words in songs, the neural transmitters in their brains are firing away, and their brains are building connections to the sounds they are hearing and the words they are singing. Singing songs and reciting poems and rhymes with children helps them develop early literacy skills.
3) Music is a wonderful way to address the many needs of children because music is nonjudgmental. There is no right or wrong, it just is what it is. Listening to different types of music nurtures self-esteem and encourages creativity, self-confidence, and curiosity.
4) Music encourages the ability to listen and thus to concentrate. Songs encourage speech and auditory discrimination. Through music, children learn to hear tempos, dynamics, and melodies. Listening for loud and soft, up and down, fast and slow encourages auditory development in the brain.
5) Music helps stimulate children's brain connections: A recent study from the University of California found that music trains the brain for higher forms of thinking. For example, researchers believe that music affects spatial-temporal reasoning (the ability to see part-whole relationships).
A study conducted by psychologist Frances Rauscher of the University of Wisconsin at Oshkosh and physicist Gordon Shaw of the University of California at Irvine specifically links the study of music to necessary brain development. They demonstrated that preschoolers who were given early exposure to complex multi-sensory stimulation—in this case, musical keyboard lessons and group singing—scored higher on tests measuring spatial reasoning, a skill used later in math, science, and engineering.
Thus, music is a really cool and fun hobby to explore and we hope you begin playing your first musical instrument.
