The Benefits of Music Education Beyond Music

10-07-2026

This is not news to Ensemble readers, but it may help your advocacy: a new review of 133 empirical studies conducted across 35 countries concludes that high-quality music provision in schools enhances academic achievement, mental health, and personal development. Moderate to full commitment to music ensembles is associated with improved confidence, emotional expression, reduced anxiety, and stronger feelings of belonging.
