Listening to music helps to promote concentration. It may even help improve test scores. According to the Gallup Poll, American Attitudes Toward Music in 2003, “71% of Americans surveyed by the Gallup Poll believe that teenagers who play an instrument are less likely to have disciplinary problems.” It is important for children to have music education.
