SUPER-CURRICULUM
Welcome to Music! There are plenty of activities here for you to get involved in, whether you enjoy performing, composing, or listening to music. Studying music can bring a series of important benefits, many of which you may not have considered before and is a perfect choice to complement your current studies and get creative.
Improve language capabilities: Musical training stimulates and trains the same part of the brain that deals with understanding language. Students who have some exposure to musical education will, therefore, have a greater understanding of tone and how different segments of speech align.
Better cognitive abilities: Playing an instrument increases the use of your neural network. Compared to those who don't play an instrument, there is some suggestion that musicians have a larger growth of neural activity.
Better math skills: It is scientifically proven through various studies that those who undertake music in education also enhance their math ability. A link between music and better control of spatial-temporal tasks means students are better equipped to learn key mathematical skills.
Inspire creativity: Music is one of the most creatively stimulating tasks any person can undertake. If you want to spark your creativity, there are few better things you can do than create your own unique music by picking up an instrument.
Refined hand-eye coordination: Learning an instrument to an elite level is no easy task. It takes considerable hand-eye coordination to learn almost any instrument. Those who master their craft are blessed with a unique skill; it's something that can be applied to other areas of academia and general life.
Better memory: Improved memory is another well-established benefit of music in education. Learning an instrument, the language of music, and the notes and lyrics that make up songs all require a flexing of memory.
