Music And History

Music can be used to teach both broad ideas and specific information to children. For older kids, period songs can be brought in to show how writers dealt with the issues of the time. (e.g. troubadours and bards, 60’s folk music)

Music And Achievement
15
Academic Growth -In a 1994 study of over 13,000 students it was found that about 22% were involved in music programs. On average these students scored almost 10% higher in reading, math, history, and science than their non-music peers. - More interesting in this study was that the score was consistent across race and socio-economic boundaries for the music students while the non-music students scores differed according to race and social status.
16
Music And Achievement Leadership - The same study also found that while the music students made up just over 22% of the group, they accounted for nearly 30% of academic award recipients, honor students, and elected officers.
17
Music And Achievement Attendance and Graduation -Studies in 2006 show that attendance rates for schools with quality music programs are much higher. (93% compared to 85%) - Many schools with music programs also feature much higher graduation rates. (90% compared to 73%)
