Music can help kids excel in complex subjects like math and physics.
Many kids are intimidated by these subjects in school. But music can help them better understand difficult equations and theories, according to researchers from the Athena Research Center’s Institute for Language and Speech Processing.
For example, students used a musical instrument with strings to learn wave theory in physics. They altered physical properties, such as the strings on the instrument, to understand how the density of a material creates different waveforms and sounds.
Due to these findings, more musical tools are being incorporated into classrooms around the world, including Greece, France, and Belgium.
Researchers say they are still measuring the impact of integrating music into these schools. So far, students are more motivated to learn.
