This article mainly talks about the benefits of music to improve your brain functions; however, it is more than just a way to increase your child’s intelligence. I feel like learning about music is beneficial largely because it is so universal. Language barriers often separate us from people in other countries. It is frustrating to think that words are what are keeping us at a distance. An example of this being that it is hard to truly appreciate a novel that was originally written in another language because many key phrases may have been lost in translation. However, when it comes to music we can all appreciate the same piece in the same way. Music is something that words are not needed to describe, as the music speaks for itself. This eliminates the issue of language barriers, and the beauty of the work is not lost in translation because even though everyone may have a different opinion and interpretation of a song, we all are hearing the same music. This universal aspect of music is what makes it such an important topic to be knowledgeable about.
