The educational benefits of singing involve an increase in knowledge, understanding, and skills about the world around us, both in music and through music.
Singing is likely to enhance your proficiency in your native language, including improved reading skills. Reading lyrics and reading music are processed in the same neurocortical regions responsible for decoding symbols. In terms of enculturation and development, recent analyses of longitudinal cohort data from England and Australia (totaling over 18,000 children) indicate that early musical experiences at home at ages 2-3, including supported and joint singing (such as action songs, counting songs, nursery rhymes, and children's songs), have a measurable impact on broader developmental aspects at ages 4-5. A higher frequency of musical activities at home, particularly those focused on singing, positively contributes to vocabulary development, numeracy skills, attention and emotional regulation, behavior, and prosocial skills in children.
