As we begin the twenty-second century scientists are finally coming to grips with the fact that music, when applied correctly, can act as a stimulant to the brain's response system to enhance its performance. This enhancement to the mind makes the neuron's response more clear, crisp, and direct. The society that has been cultivated here in America has been conformed to believe that the more we learn the more powerful we feel or become. Because of this conformity, the human race now strives to become informed and more coherent about the world around them. Just about anyone, in time, can learn about the world around them, but it is the speed at which we learn that separates the average everyday person from the geniuses from the disabled. One known way to increase the speed at which people learn is to listen to music. The correct music can enhance the speed at which the mind retains information and can actually help the mind accelerate growth.
             According to scientist Frances H. Rauscher, for children the earliest stages of learning are the most important. The fundamentals that we instill in the children's head will alter the way in which their minds develop both positively and negatively. Music, by itself can have a positive effect on the child's learning and help it in many ways. Scientists Leng and Shaw purposed an idea for infants that music is a "pre-language" that stimulates the mind in parallel to how adults' minds work to solve problems related to spatial reasoning (Leng, 229). One way that music can enhance a child's mind is by instilling music lessons into the child's normal day activities. A fascinating study was done involving ten three-year-olds who were tested to calculate their ability to put a puzzle together and the speed at which they performed the task. After the initial test had been taken, five kids were given singing lesson for 30 minutes a day and the othe...
