Abstract

This paper presents and analyzes the main contributions made by the neuroscience of music in relation to education. Among these contributions, music education facilitates the neurogenesis and also it regenerates and repairs brain nerves. In addition it produces structural changes in volume of gray matter in different brain areas, namely: motor and somatosensorial cortex, Heschl's gyrus and temporal areas, or cerebellum. Moreover, it alters the density of the corpus callosum -fiber which interconnects the two hemispheres; Corpus callosum growth leads to higher growth and more rapid exchange of information between both-. Musical training leads to functional differentiation and cognitive changes. This text collects above mentioned information. The objective is to show the importance of music to be included at all educational levels, with a significant workload.
