Music may soothe the savage heart but science shows that it can also trigger an enhancement of mathematical ability in young children.
In a year-long study conducted at a private school in New Delhi, researchers from Delhi University examined the influence of Carnatic Vocal music on children aged five-and-a-half years old to 8 years old. They found that the children exhibited a “statistically significant improvement in mathematical ability,” afterwards.
“The children involved in the study were subject to a standardised international psychometric test to assess their mathematical ability before and after the Carnatic music intervention was executed,” Dr Vidya Raja, the corresponding author of the study, said...
The study was published in the international journal of Taylor and Francis, Early Child Development and Care.
Dr Vidya added that learning music activates high brain processes with the brain carrying out complex tasks in the background while the child performs.
