THE CORRELATION BETWEEN MUSIC AND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DISCIPLINES : (English, mathematics and religion)

Abstract

Music is inherent in the spoken language. Many young children appear to be naturally inclined
to hum or to sing a tune. In this context, it is beneficial to build upon musical interests and enhance their
literacy development simultaneously, by integrating music throughout curricular areas to develop
comprehension skills, improve listening and oral language skill development, improve attention and
memory, and enhance abstract thinking
