Music has been used as a therapeutic tool for centuries and has been shown to affect many areas of the brain, including regions involved in emotion, cognition, sensation, and movement. This fact, combined with the engaging nature of music and the diversity of musical forms, makes music exceptionally effective in treating a wide range of physical and mental problems.
​
Music sharpens the brain's ability to "encode," a skill used in hearing, language, and reading, and acts as a protective factor for school performance against risks such as attendance, self-efficacy, and behavior. In addition, it helps improve motivation, self-perception, self-esteem, self-awareness, creativity, social skills, and friendships.
