Many children have music classes when they attend school. And it's thought that music can 1. really help children with learning other subjects.
One research project looked at what happened when a class of children were 2. divided into groups and given a simple task to do. One group was listening to music when completing it,and the other was completing the task in silence. And there was a difference 3. between the two. The first group performed better than the second. So it seems that music can 4. improve performance(表现)in certain areas.
So how can you benefit(受益)from studying music? According to some studies,musical training can develop the part of your 5. brain that deals with language,so you can understand your own language better. It could also help with learning a 6. second one. And that's a very useful skill to have. What's more,young people who've studied music 7. seem to score higher in other areas such as maths. So it could be that these school subjects are connected.
Music also lets you explore new 8. ideas,think in a creative way,and grow confidence. If you're learning the guitar,for example,it can be really exciting when you're able to start inventing your own pieces of music. And when you do that,you're practising your 9. listening skills because you have to listen carefully to the music you're making.
One of the biggest benefits is that listening to music helps you to be 10. less stressed. And creating music can make you feel the same way. That should always be in a relaxed atmosphere(氛围). And who knows? Maybe your musical knowledge will open up a great career path for you in the future!
