Music Influence Of Cognitive Development and Emotional Intelligence

Cognitive and Music
Cognitive processes and products are all thought to attain knowledge in the form of mental activity such as remembering, mensimbolkan, categorize, solve problems, create and fantasize.
Research shows that music can provide rich stimuli for all aspects of cognitive development and emotional intelligence (emotional intelligent). Roger Sperry (1992) in Siegel (1999) Neuron theory says that the inventor of new neurons will be a circuit if there is a stimulus of music so that the separate neurons were interlocked and integrate themselves in the circuitry of the brain, resulting in connexion between the neurons of the brain's right and left brain .

 
Referring to the cognitive development of Piaget (1969) in learning theory that is based on motor development, then one of the important skills that need to be stimulated is moving. Through a child's motor skills in a concrete world know. With this move also increased sensory sensitivity, and with sensory sensitivity also improve estimates of the right of the space (spatial), direction and time. The development of this structure is the basis of the functioning of efficiency in other areas. Awareness of the child will be able to increase the tempo through movement and play activities that emphasize synchronous, rhythm and sequence of movements. Abilities of visual, auditory and touch are also strengthened through the activities of the motion.

 
Gallahue, (1998) say, such abilities are increasingly optimized via stimulation with play classical music. Rithme, melody, and harmony of classical music can be a stimulation to improve learning ability of children. Through classical music child easily capture the relationship between time, distance and sequence (series) which are the skills needed for proficiency in logical thinking, math and problem solving.
The results Chunagi Herry (1996) Siegel (1999), which is based on the theory of neurons (kondiktor cells in the nervous system), explaining that the neurons would be a circuit if there is music stimulation, stimulation in the form of movement, caress, the sound of neurons resulting in a separate mesh and integrate themselves in the brain circuitry. The more stimulation is given to the more complex musical fabric of neurons that. That's really the basis of mathematical ability, logic, language, music, and emotion in children.

 
In addition, Gordon Shaw (1996) says that the skill in the field of mathematics, logic, language, music and emotions can be trained from childhood through music. By doing research divide 2 groups: the control and experimental class class through music education so that the regulator circuit to strengthen math skills.

 
Music managed to stimulate thinking and provide a bridge for ideas are more complex. Supported also by Martin Gardiner (1996), Goleman (1995) of research results to say art and music can make students smarter, music can help the brain focus on other things that I learned. So, there are logical connections between music and mathematics, because both are related to scale up and down, the beats in the music and the numbers in mathematics.

 
Daryono Sutoyo, Professor of Biology UNS Solo, doing research (1981) about the contribution that music stimulates the brain, said bawha important arts education is taught from elementary school (SD) for early learners acquire a balanced stimulation of the left hemisphere and the hemisphere right brain. If they are able to use both hemispheres of his brain function in a balanced way, then when they grow up thinking human being would be logical and intuitive, as well as intelligent, creative, honest, and sharply felt.

 
Implementation of the study, while in elementary art education affect the success of the next study on education in junior high, and so does the art education in the junior's influence on the success of the study in high school. And the arts in high school, could not help menjadii determinant factor in improving the quality of human resources is good.

 
Music and Emotional Intelligence
Sternberg and Salovery (1997) suggests that emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize emotions, which is a person's ability to recognize his own feelings as feelings or emotions that arise, and he was able to recognize his own emotions when he has a high sensitivity of their true feelings and then decisions are steady.

 
The ability to manage emotions is a person's ability to control his own feelings so as not to explode and ultimately can affect the behavior of natural causes. For example someone who is angry that the anger can still be well controlled without having to produce an ultimately regret later on.

 
Sensitivity will arise through the wonderful taste experience that can be obtained from live the music. Sensitivity is an important element of personality in order to mobilize and improve the quality of life. A person has a high sensitivity for their feelings then he will be able to take decisions and establish steady formidable personality.

 
The ability of motivation is the ability to give encouragement to yourself to do something good and useful. In this case contained the element of hope and optimism is high, so the spirit has the power to perform a particular activity, for example in terms of learning. Like what we aspire to achieve and implies the existence of a journey that must be taken from a position where we're to the point of our achievement in a specified period.

 
The ability to foster social relations is synonymous with the ability to manage emotions in others. Evelyn Pitcer in Kartini (1982) says music helps teens to understand others and provide opportunities in social and emotional development against them.

 
Teenagers, a social personal relationships and that requires communication with others to humanize him. Teenagers want to be loved, wants to be recognized, and appreciated. Desiring also to be counted and get a place in the group. It is clear that individuality and sociality are elements of a complementary, mutually complementary in the adolescent existence.

 
Emotional intelligence should be developed because it is this which underlies a person's skills in the community one day, so that will make the whole potential of the child can develop more optimally.
Ideally one can master the cognitive skills as well as social emotional skills. Daniel Goleman (1995) through his famous book "Emotional Intelligences (EQ)", provides a spectrum of intelligence, so the child will be proficient in their respective fields but also became very expert. As was stated by experts, the development of emotional intelligence is strongly influenced by the musical stimuli as said Gordon Shaw (1996).
According to Siegel (1999) brain development expert, says that music can play a role in the maturation process of the right hemisphere of the brain, although it can affect the left hemisphere, because of cross-over from right to left and vice versa is very complex from the pathway-neuronal pathways in the brain.
Securities or good atmosphere and the feeling and emotion perception, expression, and awareness of emotional experience, predominantly mediated by the right brain hemispheres. That is, this hemisphere plays a large role in the process of emotional development, which is very important for the development of human nature that human.
Subtlety and sensitivity of a person to be able to feel the feelings of others, live the life experience with the "feeling", is a right brain function, is the ability to understand other people's feelings, to understand the experience of the ratio is a function of the left hemisphere. Person's ability to be able to communicate well and humanely with others by a mixture (blending between the left and right brain).
The process of listening to music is a form of affective communication and provide an emotional experience. Emotion is a subjective experience that are inherent in every human being. To be able to feel and appreciate and evaluate the significance of the interaction with the environment, it can be stimulated and optimized its development through music since the early days.
2001 Campbell says in his book Mozart effect romantic music (Schubert, Schuman, Chopin, and Tchaikovsky) can be used to enhance compassion and sympathy.

 
Music is described as one of "pure form" expression of emotion. Music contains a variety of contour, spacing, variations in intensity and broad sound modulation, in accordance with the components of human emotions.
