At KsmToys, we are proud of our musical selection, and this is why you should encourage your child to play a musical instrument: Research has found that learning music facilitates learning other subjects and enhances skills children inevitably use in other areas. A study by E. Glenn Schellenberg at the University of Toronto at Mississauga, as published in a 2004 issue of Psychological Science, found an increase in the childs IQ. Research indicates the brain of a musician, even a young one, works differently than that of a nonmusician. Children involved in music have significantly more growth of neural activity than people not in music training. " When youre a musician, and youre playing an instrument, you have to be using more of your brain," says Dr. Eric Rasmussen of The Johns Hopkins University. Research has also found a causal link between music and spatial intelligence. Understanding music can help children visualize elements that should go together as they would do when solving a math problem. And most importantly, MUSIC JUST MAKES YOU HAPPY!
