The Impact of Music on Children's Ability at Mathematics

Abstract

The study is investigated on children at the age of eleven. It is about the academic level for those who practice music for four months and the ones who do not.  For this reason, two groups (A, B) of children of the same age, system, economic and social status are chosen for the study. The method of the study is related to testing method between the primary group and the controlled group. The purpose of the test is to measure the charge of the level of impact of practicing music over the change of  the level of students ability at mathematics. Both groups took mathematics exam for the first term in their school as pretest after the four months of the music practice, they took the second term exam of their school as posttest. The result of the study is that the first group (A) who practiced got a higher average than the students of the controlled group (B).
