Abstract
The purpose of this theoretical paper is to explore and analyze the influence that music can have on the development of a child from the physical, cognitive, emotional and social aspects. Through a detailed bibliographic research and analysis of conceptual models, we have identified the key role that music plays in improving the motor coordination, perceptual development and cognitive skills of the child. From the emotional perspective, musical experiences serve as a means of expressing and understanding emotions. Introducing music into early education can also potentially improve social skills and interaction among children. Through the analysis of empirical studies and a review of existing theories, we tend to emphasize the importance that music has in the development of a child. By presenting this analysis, we intend to provide a contribution in order to understand how music can improve the scope and quality of a child’s development during the period which one grows up.
