Children who chose the music, have better grades in school, more and more human like animals are - according to a survey of U.S. psychiatrists.

It was found that extracurricular activities impact on the young population, but it was recently discovered that those who attend music lessons, regardless of how many are successful, have better results on tests in elementary school, have at least one pet and show humanity to the elderly and persons in trouble.

On this basis it was concluded that music enriches the soul, which is most pronounced in children who play the piano and violin.

Music education makes kids smarter

Many studies have linked music to improve school results. Even Plato said, "I would teach children music, physics and philosophy, but mostly music because the music and all the arts key learning skills." Here's another good reason to have your child get interested in music.

Good reasons for music lessons

It seems that Plato was right. Here are a few studies that enumerate the positive side of music learning in children.

When the child is ready to play a musical instrument?

Before you go to classes, help your child to develop a love of music and to understand it. Take your child to see live music performance, play his CD's and talk about the instruments you hear.

The best age to start playing the instrument depends on the child, his or her development and planning instrument to learn. We've all seen kids how effortlessly they play Mozart on the violin with 3 or Chopin on the piano at 5 years old.

The best sign that children are ready for music is that he wants to go to formal classes and be able to concentrate during class. The ability to easily distinguish letters and numbers is also a big help when you begin to read music.

How do you know if your child is musically gifted?
