Benefits of Music
Music is a universal language that transcends boundaries and connects us on a profound level. Its ability to evoke emotions and express feelings is unparalleled. From the earliest days of human existence, people have used music as a means of communication, celebration, and self-expression.
​
The impact of music on child development is significant. It stimulates various areas of development, including intellectual, social-emotional, motor skills, language, and overall literacy. The connection between music and the mind is powerful, helping the body and mind work together in harmony. Early exposure to music is particularly beneficial as it aids in language acquisition by helping children learn the sounds and meanings of words.
It is a multifaceted discipline that incorporates elements of reading, math, history, science, and art. Music is a rich tapestry that weaves together different aspects of human knowledge and experience.

Zoltan Kodály (1882-1967) was a Hungarian composer, educator, philosopher, and ethnomusicologist – a towering figure of the last century whose concept of music education has had remarkable influence worldwide. His main aim was to educate all society to read music as easily as reading words; to develop a love of music through experience and understanding; to discriminate between good music and bad music; and above all, to regard music as an integral part of life, placing the utmost importance on its role in education, just as the Greeks had done in the time of Pythagoras.
