Originally Published 1 year ago — by IFLScience
The belief that there's a link between math and musical skills is widespread, with examples of high-profile individuals excelling in both fields. Research suggests that teaching music to young children can improve their math skills, with integrated music-mathematics interventions showing the greatest effect. This interdisciplinary approach not only enhances math scores but also helps alleviate math anxiety. Dr. Ayça Akın's study indicates that embedding music within the math curriculum from an early age could benefit students, making math more accessible and enjoyable.
