Amazingly there is no musical centre in the brain. Musical activity stimulates the whole brain. Quite simply when you are engaged in musical activity the whole of your brain lights up like a Christmas Tree.
Overall brain development suggests global development for children. Scientific studies have shown that there are huge benefits in early music education. Children who take regular music instruction before the age of 7 are the most advantaged.
The following are just a few of the benefits of music education:
General cognitive development
Language development
Reading readiness and reading
verbal abilities
Abstract conceptional thinking and reasoning
Creativity and originality
Memory
Improvisation
Motor development and coordination
Improved social skills
Stress reduction
Increased quality of life
