music to entertainment because we hear it on the radio and the television every day.

able to improve a learning situation. For example, younger children remember colours,
numbers and days of the week better with the help of songs.
Learning to play music can also help to better the eye-hand coordination as well
as improve the finger movement. Many athletes exercise by following the beat of the
music. This helps them to concentrate on their training.
Listening to music may help us emotionally. If we are frightened and tensed,
