Music as a Learning Approach part#2

Various circuits in the brain have different development times. Stimulate children at the right time from development can maximize their abilities. Ability mathematics and logic are in the cerebral cortex adjacent to musical ability with a formation period of 0-4 years.

For this reason, it is important to play a simple count with children through music media in numeracy teaching, for example one plate, one fork, one spoon, while eating at the dining table.

Music and Emotional Intelligence

Scientists often talk about the part of the brain used to think like that

cortex, (sometimes called the neocortex) as a different part of the brain that reduces emotions, the limbic system. Even though both have relationships. Interaction is caused by musical stimuli that determine emotional intelligence.

The cortex is part of the brain's thinking and serves to control emotions through problem solving, language, creativity, and other cognitive processes. The limbic system is the emotional part of the brain. This system includes this thalamus, which sends messages to the cortex; hippocampus, which plays a role in perception and interpretation of perception; and amygdala, emotional control center.

Say that music can plays a role in the maturation process of the right brain, although it can affect

the left hemisphere, because the right and left cross-over is very complicated from the neural pathways in the brain.

Effects or moods of feelings and emotions both perceptions, expressions and awareness of emotional experiences, are predominantly mediated by the right hemisphere. That is, this hemisphere plays a large role in the process of emotional development, namely very important for the development of human nature.

A person's fluency and sensitivity to being able to feel the feelings of others, undergoing life experience with "feeling", is the function of the right brain, while being able to understand the feelings of others, understanding experience with ratio is a function of the left brain. A person's ability to communicate well and humanly with others is a mixture (mixing right and left brain).

The process of listening to music is one form of affective communication and provides an emotional experience. Emotion is a subjective experience that is inherent in every human being. To be able to feel and appreciate and evaluate the meaning of interaction with the environment, can be stimulated and optimized for its development through music from an early age.

Campbell 2001 in the Mozart effect says romantic music (Schubert, Schuman, Chopin, and Tchaikovsky) can be used to increase sympathy and sympathy.

Music is described as one
pure form of emotional expression.

Music contains various contours, distances, intensity variations and broad sound modulation, according to the components of human emotion.

If a child is raised in the atmosphere of Mozart's music from an early age, Mozart's loving and disciplined soul will grow inside him. This is the magic of music. Aspects of Emotional Intelligence

Peter Salovey and John Mayer (1990) in Shapiro (1997) explain the emotional quality that seems important for the success of this quality is the ability to recognize emotions. Sternberg and Salovery in Shapiro (1997) say that emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize self emotions is a person's ability to recognize his own feelings when feelings or emotions arise, and he is able to recognize his own emotions if he has a high sensitivity to him. he. their true feelings and then make firm decisions. In this case, the attitude is taken in determining various choices such as choosing a school, a friend, a profession to choose a partner.

The ability to manage emotions is one's ability to control their own feelings so that they do not explode and can ultimately affect their behavior properly. For example, someone who is angry then his anger can still be controlled properly without having to cause consequences that eventually regret later.

Sensitivity to beautiful feelings comes through experiences that can be obtained from living music. Sensitivity is an important element for using personality and improving quality of life. A person has a high sensitivity to their feelings so that he will be able to make decisions firmly and form a strong personality. Motivational ability is the ability to encourage yourself to do something good and useful. In this case there is a high element of hope and optimism, so that it has the power of enthusiasm do certain activities, for example in terms of learning. What do we like?

aspiration can be achieved and show existence trip that must be taken from the position where we are (Point of Departure, POD) to arrival point (Point of Arrival, POA) within a certain period.

The ability to foster social relationships is the same as ability manage the emotions of others. Evelyn Pitcer in Kartini (1982) said music helps children to understand others and provide opportunities for their social interaction and emotional development.

The ability to manage the emotions of others so as to create social skills which is high and makes one's relationship wider. Children with this ability tend to have many friends, are good at socializing. Through study groups (groups) are required to work together, understand others.

Children are social people who need relationships and communication with people other people humanize themselves. Children want to be loved, want to be recognized, and appreciated.

Also want to be counted and get a place in the group. Clean it Individuality and sociality are complementary, complementary and complement the presence of children.

Emotional intelligence needs to be developed because this is what underlies one's skills in society in the future, so that it will make all the potential of children develop more optimally.

Ideally one can master cognitive skills and social emocional skills.
so that children will be competent in their respective fields but also become highly skilled.

As said by experts, the development of emotional intelligence is strongly influenced by musical stimuli.
