Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Social Work, grade: 1,7, Alice Salomon University of Applied Sciences Berlin AS, language: English, abstract: The paper examines the significance of music for children in their development and in their life-world context. The analysis is limited to the importance of music for primary school children aged 6 to 12 years. First, the term music is explained and the role it plays in children's everyday lives. Then, the processing of music in the brain and the influences of music on the brain are examined in more detail. The focus of the paper is the consideration and discussion of the effect of music on the child's developmental areas. With the help of fundamental literature research and the examination of scientific and empirical studies, a critical examination and discussion will take place about how music in particular can have an effect on the child development areas and child education. The aim is to elaborate which scientific findings already exist and, based on these, to shed light on whether music can actually have a supporting and accompanying effect in certain areas of children's lives. The context on which the effect of music may depend should be taken into account.
