Why is music such an effective medium for building new skills in children? It provides an environment of motivation and reward to make challenging tasks seem easier for children and to provide breaks in the task to prevent frustration. Music also initially creates and then later triggers additional neural pathways in the brain that enhance the ability to “hold on” to acquired information.
