Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the following questions.
Many children have music classes when they attend school. So how exactly can children
benefit from studying music?
According to some studies, musical training can develop the part of children's brain that is involved
with languages, so they can understand their own language better. It could also help with learning a
second language. What's more, children who have studied music also seem to score better in other
areas. For example, reading music includes learning about quarter and half notes, which are basically
fractions, like in mathematics. And when children are learning about rhythm, they are counting the
notes in a piece of music. So these school subjects seem to be connected.
Music can also let children explore new ideas, think in a creative way and gain confidence. If they are
learning the guitar, it can be really exciting when they can invent their own pieces of music Moreover,
when they do that, they are also practising their listening skills because they have to listen carefully to
the music they are making. This is particularly important when they perform with other people.
One of the biggest benefits, of course, is that listening to music helps children to be less stressed. And
creating music can make them feel the same way. And who knows? Maybe their musical knowledge
will open up a great career path for them in the future.
