DID YOU KNOW...
- Music builds early language development.
- A Stanford study shows that music engages areas of the brain which are involved with paying attention, making predictions, and updating events in our memory.
- A review of 23 studies covering almost 1,500 patients found that listening to music reduced heart rate, blood pressure and anxiety in heart disease patients.
- Music is an important part of a child's identity and can boost self-confidence.
- A study found that a quick blast of happy music made participants perceive other's faces as happier. The same was true for a snippet of sad music.
- Playing soft music (and dimming the lights) during a meal can help people slow down while eating and ultimately consume less food in one sitting.
- The College Entrance Examination Board found that students involved in public school music programs scored 107 points higher on the SATs than students with no participation.
