Learning music isn't just good for the soul

Music offers a particular framework for categorizing and comprehending sound. It is a way of knowing that impacts how we interpret and communicate our opinions about and perceive the world. Through sound, emotion, intelligence, and imagination are expressed in music. Our feelings and ideas about who we are and where we fit in the world can be expressed through music. It can elicit a strong emotional reaction and capture the ephemeral quality of who and what we are. The sounds in the music range from those produced by conventional instruments and electronic technology to natural and previously unknown. By constructing the pitch, rhythm, dynamics, harmony, timbre, texture, and shape of the sound, we create musical ideas and compose compositions. Individuality and culture are expressed through music. Musical works employ conventional and non-traditional signs and symbols in their sociohistorical texts, visually and aurally. We can learn about and appreciate different ancestries and cultures through music.


The many opportunities for self-expression that music education provides children help them realize their full potential. It enables kids to comprehend sound and appreciate its aesthetic qualities in natural and technological settings. Children can also learn specific problem-solving techniques through interactive and reflective listening and developing tunes. The knowledge and skills related to musical genre, style, technology, and structure are improved by musical literacy. It entails understanding the conventions associated with the composition, performance, and critical evaluation of musical works and performances. All-tune learning revolves around improving auditory abilities. When kids focus on tuning, they benefit from the theory, history, and expertise of tuning. Additionally, they actively concentrate and increase their auditory sensitivity while creating and performing, beautifying their understanding of the arena by tuning in and from various musical contexts.


The musical heritage of the many different cultures in New Zealand is promoted by the New Zealand Music Curriculum. Children, in particular, need to have the chance to become familiar with the various genres and styles of both traditional and modern Maori music.

All kids can participate in cultural life in their schools, homes, and communities by learning, creating, and sharing music through music education. It also gives kids a lot of future employment opportunities in the arts.
