Playing classical music such as Beethoven and Mozart to young children boosts their concentration and self-discipline, a new study suggests.

Youngsters also improve their general listening and social skills by being exposed to repertoires from composers including Ravel, Shostakovich and Mendelssohn.

In addition, they are likely to appreciate a wider range of music in later years, according to a study from the Institute of Education, (IoE), University of London.

It is my confirmed belief that such is not limited to children, adults can also benefit greatly by expanding their listening horizons towards the Classical Music as well. It is never too late.

Those interested in writing songs and composing in general should get to know and love the classics.
