[originaltext] We love music as much as we like eating. It brings joy and pea

We love music as much as we like eating. It brings joy and peace. But research has also discovered music plays a powerful role in the intellectual development of children. Music inspires creativity, imagination, self-expression and self-esteem.
   According to one study, musical training improves the way the brain processes spoken words. Musical experience can help the brain improve its ability to distinguish between rapidly changing sounds, which is a key skill in understanding and using language. Children who had music lessons had better memories, as well as higher literacy and math levels.
   Another study in the United States showed that children who had been poor in school performance caught up with their classmates in reading and were ahead of them in math after just seven months of music lessons.
   Research shows it’s not that smart kids play music, but that music makes kids smarter. Many people have felt the need to make music a standard part of the school curriculum.
   Music is everywhere, but not at 75 percent of public schools in Australia, where a dedicated music teacher is lacking. It’s very sad that many children don’t have access to formal musical education. Involving our children in music doesn’t have to be expensive. We can give our kids musical exposure through singing or the radio. The Internet also has a lot of free videos that teach you how to play musical instruments.
   To conclude, music builds relationships, unifies people and, most importantly, it’s fun. Music should be an essential part of a child’s education.
