Music helps with math and science. Students learn to count, and how to multiply and divide.Students also use science to help them discover what sounds good together and what doesn't.Students also need science to understand something called the “overtone series", which is about how music is produced by vibration(颤动)and why.

Students learn a lot about languages through music. Many songs are written in other languages, including ancient ones.Students must learn to translate these works to understand what they are singing about. A song is likely to be a famous short work set to music; so students become familiar with that very often while singing.

Students learn a huge amount of cooperation of body parts through music, so parts of the body can work better together.Students must use skills in order to play an instrument.Singers and instrument players must learn breath control and be in good shape to play.

Students learn about art. Some famous pieces were written about important pieces of art, and students learn about the artists and styles as they're playing the music.

Music education also brings higher thinking to our children.It allows them to think about complex patterns.Students have to be aware of what every other musician does at every time.In that way, it develops cooperation, as well.They tend to develop more ability for learning.
