Abstract

In music education, a student must learn to read music notation, develop eye-hand-mind coordination, develop keen listening skills, develop team skills for playing in an ensemble, and develop the discipline to practice. Several research findings show that musical training is a powerful intervention that could help students emotionally and intellectually mature. This research aims to connect the current research on music education with the lack of exploration and knowledge to find the correlation between music and students’ academic success. The methodology used for this study will be a quantitative historical study format directed to discover research-backed evidence based on this idea. Through this methodology, student’s success and motivation trend through matriculation from their first year to high school and college will be noted. The study examines the association between music involvement and academic achievement in childhood and adulthood using three measures of music participation: in and outside of school and parental involvement in concert attendance and support.

Education officials have implied that arts subjects are an extracurricular activity, shifting its importance. The general purpose is to explore the relationship between music education and students’ intellectual and emotional development to begin the argument to prove the importance of music education.
