We all are well aware that music acts as the perfect stress buster, but according to a study, it even improves reading and mathematical ability significantly.

 

What does music lead to for your child?

·         Helps unwind
Music helps students unwind themselves and stay fresh throughout. It also helps to increase concentration. Let your child listen to his favourite music while solving maths or accounts problems.

·        
Relaxes brain
Listening to soft and classical music helps your brain to relax after an exhausting day, so it does to a student. Devika Awtar, teacher and parent, Chandigarh, says “My association with music has not been restricted to merely listening, but I have also taken classes in classical form of the art for six years which I picked up before joining college. So I strongly recommend students to inculcate an inclination towards music, be it through singing or listening because there is nothing more soothing like it. Soft music helps to relax the brain and absorb more information.”
