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.
Music is very important in school life because playing a musical instrument can improve______.
选项
A、reading and writing
B、listening and writing
C、maths and reading
D、listening and maths
答案
A
解析
细节题。根据题干关键词playing a musical instrument和improve定位至最后一段。该段主要介绍了音乐在英国文化中的核心地位以及儿童掌握音乐知识和技能的重要性。在接下来的内容里作者介绍了学校开展音乐教育的原因——演奏乐器有助于提高阅读和写作能力,故[A]为正确答案。该段首先强调了学校开设音乐教育是因为音乐既是孩子们谈论的话题,也是他们追求的目标。还提到“大家都知道,学习演奏乐器可以提高阅读和写作能力。”因此,[B]、[C]和[D]均与原文内容不符,故应排除。
