It means that music is very important in development of children. In addition it influence on spatial-temporal skills. Research also found out the link between music and spatial intelligence. Listening music helps children to visualize different elements which should go together and be the same. Moreover it improve test scores. It is demonstrated by Christopher Johnson that children in elementary school with musical education get 22 percent higher in English and 20 present higher in math than schools which don’t have musical education. To sum up, the author highlights that music improve child’s abilities and skills and it makes child happy and smart will come later. I found this article very useful, because I read many advantages of listening music and playing an instruments for kids, especially how music influence on their aspiration to work hard and increase IQ. Also it is academic reliable article which was written by famous researchers as E. Glenn Schulenburg and according to issue of Psychological Science .This article provides logical arguments of one side, but very strong arguments. The goal of this source is to prove that music learning supports all learning and develop children different skills. I think that music really does children better. They develop spiritually and morally. Many children while doing homework listen to music and it helps to do homework. Music brings a variety in study. I consider that parents have to send children to music school. They will develop and open for themselves new skills and spheres .It is quite good when child can mix school education and music education.
