Did you know that music is part of what makes humans human? 
Every culture makes music. Musical instruments are amongst 
the oldest man-made objects ever found. For example, there are 
flutes around 37,000 years old and perhaps even older!
Scientists have recently discovered that music affects many parts of 
. , . . 
our brain very deeply. Try to sing ‘Happy Birthday’ or any song you like
and you will understand. Music gets under your skin. It creates strong 
feelings and memories. How does it make you feel?

The more we learn about music, the more we will be able to say what 
we want to say in music. In other words, the more we learn about music, 
the more we will be able to say things that we cannot say in words.
Children’s brains are developing. That means 
children are much more ready to hear new things 
than adults. Many adults think that certain types 
of music (for example, classical music) are not for 
children. In fact, the opposite is often true. If an adult 
has not heard a particular type of music in childhood, 
then they will not normally like that music as an adult.
The more types of music children hear, the more types of 
music they will like as adults and the more they will listen to. 
And the more types of music they will listen to, the more they 
will understand about the essential language of music itself!
