Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
Many children have music classes when they attend school. So how exactly can children benefit
from studying music?
According to some studies, musical training can develop the part of children's brain that is involved
with languages, so they can understand their own language better. It could also help with learning a second
language. What's more, children who have studied music also seem to score better in other areas. For
example, reading music includes learning about quarter and half notes, which are basically fractions, like in
2

mathematics. And when children are learning about rhythm, they are counting the notes in a piece of music.
So these school subjects seem to be connected.
Music can also let children explore new ideas, think in a creative way and gam confidence. If they
are learning the guitar, it can be really exciting when they can invent their own pieces of music. Moreover,
when they do that, they are also practising their listening skills because they have to listen carefully to the
music they are making. This is particularly important when they perform with other people.
One of the biggest benefits, of course, is that listening to music helps children to be less stressed.
And creating music can make them feel the same way. And who knows? Maybe their musical knowledge
will open up a great career path for them in the future.
