Music has been linked to positive outcomes in learning environments. It has effects on the human mind, body and language. Studies have shown that music training before age seven is correlated with greater brain growth and improvements in speech and math skills. However, not all music genres have favorable effects and music can be distracting if it is too loud or jarring. While relaxing music has been shown to improve performance on calculation and memory tasks in children, pop music can serve as a distraction, especially for shy personalities. The health benefits of music include pain relief, reduced blood pressure, boosted immunity, and reduced stress levels. Therefore, schools and hospitals should explore more opportunities to utilize the benefits of music therapy.
