Listening to Classical Music

This chapter explores how listening to classical music impacts children's development. It highlights the effects of this type of music, both at home and in school, on children's cognitive, emotional, and social growth. Given that classical music is often overlooked in the home environment, it becomes the teacher's responsibility to incorporate it into lessons, ensuring it is carefully planned and includes all stages of active listening. The chapter also reveals that most children enjoy classical music, even if they are not exposed to it at home. Moreover, the benefits of classical music should not be confined to music lessons alone, as listening to it in the background has a positive impact on other subjects as well.
