Musical training leads students to develop various skills in the intellectual, personal, emotional, physical and cultural fields.
Music awakens the mental and physical functions of the child, develops his intellectual capacities. Research shows that when a child listens to classical music, the right hemisphere of his brain is activated, and when the child studies a musical instrument, both the right and left hemispheres activate.
In a world where we are constantly stimulated by ringtones, vibrations and notifications of all kinds, playing music is almost like a sanctuary where our attention takes refuge. The concentration required to play music is such that our instrument captures our full attention. Whether you have a guitar in your hands or a violin on your shoulder, our senses are more challenged than usual. Our eyes read the litter, our ears are on the lookout for false notes, the muscles in our arms and hands are contracted, even our brain is more stressed.
In addition, learning music requires the most rigorous of disciplines. Indeed, to play an instrument well, there is no miracle recipe; there are only the hours you accumulate repeating your scales, making mistakes and correcting them. Like a karateka who remakes his katas, a musician must repeat a song constantly if he wants to play it well.
You will have understood that the development of concentration and discipline are precious assets for any student. Music therefore makes it possible to work and reinforce the traits necessary for success in school.
