Why is music so important to students development? Researchers have drawn connections between Iearning and the arts since the 1920s, when MacPherson wrote:
“It is an acknowledged fact that, when properly carried out, music ... has most certainly the effect of stimulating the mental faculties of those who take part in it, and, as a result, of improving the standard of work in other departments.”

• General cognitive development

• Verbal abilities
• Abstract conceptual thinking and reasoning
