As the government launches the National Year of Music, a new report confirms that learning an instrument has many benefits for children. Learning a musical instrument at school improves children’s behavior, memory and intelligence, a government-commissioned study has found, as ministers launch the first National Year of Music.
Professor Susan Hallam of the Institute of Education, University of London, analyzed scores of researchers’ studies on the benefits of music to children. She found researchers had discovered that learning to play an instrument enlarges the left side of the brain. This leads musically-trained pupils to remember almost a fifth more information. Hallarn’s research review was commissioned by the Department for Children, Schools and Families as part of a drive to persuade more children in England to play a musical instrument.
The government hopes to double the number of children, aged 7 to 11 , who are given a chance to learn an instrument for free by 2011. The government says that now over half of primary-aged children learn an instrument. A study contrasting the impact of music lessons with that of drama classes found music lessons, over time, increased pupils’ IQ by 7 points, compared to 4.3 points for drama lessons.
Several U. S. studies have found that plaving an instrument improves children’s behavior. This was because working in small musical groups requires trust, respect and compromise, Hallam said. " In adolescence , music makes a major contribution to the development of self-identity and is seen as a source of support when young people are feeling troubled or lonely. " Hallam said. But singing or piano lessons do not necessarily improve children’s maths ability. "The relationship between maths and active musical engagement has had mixed results. " Hallam said.
£330m has been invested in music "inside and outside the classroom" in the last year. Long-haired rock guitarists will take part in what the government has called the biggest music lesson ever. And some of the country’s best-known artists will play in the classrooms.
Music is at the very heart of British popular culture—it’s what kids talk about, it’s what they aspire to. Young people need to know that they can only become stars by mastering the basics when they’re young and by learning about a range of music, from classical to country. This is exactly why we need world—class music education in schools. We know that learning to play an instrument can improve both reading and writing. It is right that music should play an important role in school life and beyond.
According to Susan Hallam, musically-trained pupils______.
选项
A、can do well in maths
B、have a better memory
C、will make more friends
D、overcome difficulties more easily
答案
B
解析
细节题。由题干关键词Susan Hallam和musically—trained pupils定位至第二段。该段首先介绍了Susan Hallam的研究发现:学习乐器有助于人类大脑左半球的发育,因此,受过音乐教育的孩子能多记住五分之一的信息,即受过音乐教育的孩子比没有受过音乐教育的孩子的记忆力要好,故[B]选项符合文意。musically-trained pupils所在的上下文并没有提到受过音乐教育的孩子是否有数学天赋,故排除[A];文中也未提及受过音乐教育的孩子是否“会交到更多朋友”、“更容易克服困难
