I would teach children music, physics, and philosophy; but most
importantly music, for in the patterns of music and all the arts
are the keys of learning.
Plato
Music education opens doors that help children pass from school into the
world around them— a world of work, culture, intellectual activity, and
human involvement. The future of our nation depends on providing our
children with a complete education that includes music.

Sound Advice: Involving
Parents in Music Education
by Stephen F. Zdzinski
|
|
|
|
It would seem that all children at young ages are
motivated to make music. Just recall how much fun you
had as a child banging on pots and pans, turning boxes
into drums, and using paper towel tubes as kazoos.
By the time children first become involved in private
music study, they think it will be fun to play an
instrument. Soon, however, they realize that it's hard
work.
What can parents do to keep their children interested in
music? How can we help children achieve musical success?
The first thing to remember is that all children have
musical ability. Some may have more and some less but
everyone can benefit from musical activity throughout
their lives. For those students with less natural
musical ability, parent involvement in music makes a
difference, especially when children are very young. In
addition, most parental activities that are related to
success in music study don't require specialized musical
training or musical ability.
The link between
music and a child's intelligence
With the public attention brought by the "Music Makes
You Smarter" research, many parents are interested in
providing their children appropriate musical
experiences. This research was led by Frances Rauscher,
a psychologist at the University of Wisconsin at
Oshkosh, and Gordon Shaw, a physicist at the University
of California at Irvine, and published in the February
1997 issue of Neurological Research. It is based on some
remarkable studies that show that music training
generates the neural connections used for abstract
reasoning, including those necessary for understanding
mathematical concepts.
Besides, music is a fun, group-oriented, artistic
activity that can be participated in and experienced
throughout a person's life, and it leads to a better
quality of life.
Promoting musical
achievement
During the preschool and
elementary years, parental involvement in music is more
highly related to musical achievement than it is to
attitudes and motivation toward music study. Research
shows that with preschool children, parents may wish to
sing with their children, have them listen to
recordings, attend concerts, provide musical toys and
materials, and expose children to a variety and choice
of music.
For children involved in beginning instrumental music
study, taping practice sessions and performances, and
supervising home practicing can be helpful. Parents
should also encourage their children to select
instruments based on which sound they prefer. Research
has found that children will practice more and achieve
more if they like the sound of their own instrument
best.
Helping your child
become interested in music
As students get older, parental
involvement in music makes less of a difference in the
child's musical achievement, but has a greater influence
on attitudes and motivation toward music. This affects
whether a child will continue musical study. Parents can
do a number of things to promote better attitudes and
motivation as music study continues.
For example, parents can:
|
Assist with practice |
|
Attend school concerts and non-school concerts and recitals |
|
Attend parent meetings with instructors |
|
Provide transportation to musical activities |
|
Provide musical enrichment activities, such as summer music camps. |
Stephen F. Zdzinski is
assistant professor of music education at the University
of South Carolina and the co-advisor for the collegiate
chapter of the MENC, National Association for Music
Education. His research has focused on parent
involvement in music education, instrumental music
performance measurement, motor learning in instrumental
music, music education for special learners, and a
content analysis of landmark music education research
studies
