Giving children music lessons won't just introduce (they) to a world of rhythm and melody(旋律) it could also improve their language skills.
The study of 74 Chinese children before primary school (lead) by scientist Robert Desimone from MIT. In the study, the 4﹣to 5﹣year﹣old children were divided into three groups. One group received a 45﹣minute piano lesson three times week, while another received extra reading instruction lessons. The (three) group took no extra lessons.
The lessons (last) for six months. Then the children were tested on their abilities to discriminate (辨别)words based on ( different) in tone (声调)and so on. The test results showed that the children who had taken piano lessons performed better at discriminating between words, when compared the children taking extra reading lessons. But both groups did (well) than the third group.
The researchers think that the musical education helped these children perform better in language(test),even better than the kids taking extra reading lessons. This should make educators pay close attention. "That means schools could spend more time and energy music education and there will be an improvement in children s studies, Desimone said.
Many schools are giving more extra reading to kids instead of the arts education. In fact, giving children music lessons is no worse than extra reading.
