Empathy and Social Awareness
Recent studies have shown that collaborative music making
can increase empathy in toddlers. Empathy, in part, comes
from being sensitive to subtle changes in the human voice that
indicate mood and emotion. Children need to develop empathy
if they are to thrive in family life, at school, and later, at work.
This connection between music and empathy may be due
to improved verbal intelligence. Playing music improves a
child’s ability to listen and pick up nuances of speech – the
way something is said and the emotions underneath the words,
not just the words themselves, which in turn is a key element
of empathy and emotional intelligence.
Music is inherently emotional, and musical memories are
among the most visceral and vivid. Consequently, musicians
must learn how to connect with people on an emotional level.
Whether harmonizing in a choir or performing in a string
quartet or simply jamming with friends, music students of
any age, even the very young, learn how to share attention,
co-operate and collaborate. These are extremely valuable skills
in both personal relationships and in the workplace. Studies
have even shown that collaborative musical activities can
increase toddlers’ pro-social behaviours, making them more
likely to help someone in need
