Synopsis

Music activities in educational settings play a significant role in the development of students' cognitive, psychomotor, and emotional abilities. They help pupils develop self-discipline, learn to follow rules, and take on responsibility. Through discipline, pupils understand the difference between correct and incorrect behavior in alignment with established rules. Playing musical instruments, such as drums, fosters discipline by teaching pupils to follow instructions, care for equipment, and respect guidelines. Teachers employ various strategies to maintain discipline, including musical signals, routine activities, and clear rules. These approaches enhance attention and improve control of the learning environment. Clear expectations and consistent rule implementation positively influence students' behavior, engagement, and academic achievement.
