“…More generally, a growing body of research (for example, Anvari, Trainor, Woodside & Levy, 2002;Hurwitz, Wolff, Bortnick & Kokas, 1975;Lyons, 2008;Patel, 2008Patel, & 2012Patel & Iversen, 2007) suggests a facilitative effect for music on language learning. The integration of music into the language curriculum is reported to develop auditory skills (Gromko, 2012), phonemic awareness and overall language skills (Lyons, 2008), phonological awareness and word recognition skills (Anvari et al, 2002;Bolduc, 2009;Bolduc & Montesinos-Gelet, 2005), reading comprehension (Hurwitz et al, 1975), and emergent literacy (Bolduc, 2009;Gromko, 2012;Register, 2001 Research has reported that MIT potentially fosters students' learning (see, for example, Haley, 2004;Hamurlu, 2007).
