Reading: benefits of music (31–35)
Choose A–D.
Many children have music classes when they attend school. So how exactly can children benefit from studying music?
According to some studies, musical training can develop the part of children's brain that is involved with languages, so they can understand their own language better. It could also help with learning a second language. What's more, children who have studied music also seem to score better in other areas. For example, reading music includes learning about quarter and half notes, which are basically fractions, like in mathematics. And when children are learning about rhythm, they are counting the notes in a piece of music. So these school subjects seem to be connected.
Music can also let children explore new ideas, think in a creative way, and gain confidence. If they are learning the guitar, it can be really exciting when they can invent their own pieces of music. Moreover, when they do that, they are also practising their listening skills because they have to listen carefully to the music they are making. This is particularly important when they perform with other people.
One of the biggest benefits, of course, is that listening to music helps children to be less stressed. And creating music can make them feel the same way. And who knows? Maybe their musical knowledge will open up a great career path for them in the future.

- excited
- worried
- pleased

- Studying music can help children learn languages better.

- rhythm
- fractions
- another language
What is the main topic of the passage?
- The link between music and maths
- Career paths in music for children
- The benefits of learning music for children
- The influence of music on babies
The word “It” in paragraph 2 refers to
