Until a few years ago, music was not considered an important lesson in school. Only given once a week as local content. Unlike subjects such as mathematics and Indonesian which can be given up to 2 or 3 times a week. However, in the opinion of conservatives, music cannot guarantee the future of children. Even though it can be used as a career choice, it is certainly not a career like office employees.
However, in an age with advanced technology like now, people can no longer rely on complicated knowledge to achieve success. Creativity and original thinking are needed to open career opportunities for yourself.
And apparently, learning music can be an initial means to develop strong personal qualities in the pursuit of success. Here we show the reasons why people who study music are easier to achieve success, summarized from the Lifehack website.
There are a number of reasons that I can gather from friends including the following
Reason 1: They are more creative
Recent research shows that most celebrities in business and politics learn music from an early age. Whether it's a piano, clarinet, saxophone, or other musical instrument. Learning music makes them stimulated to develop creativity from an early age.
One of them is Paul Allen (Microsoft co-founder) who says that playing music allows him to think outside of a conservative frame of mind and express himself in new ways.
Reason 2: smarter
Ever heard of Hercule Poirot, the famous Belgian detective Agatha Christie, who called her intelligence a hard-working gray cell on her head? Smart people generally have more gray cells in their brains than ordinary people.
And people who play music from an early age usually have more gray parts in the brain than those who don't learn music early. They also tend to have IQs above average.
Reason 3: Stronger in numerical and language fields
According to a study cited by Lifehack, children who learn music show better abilities in numerical fields such as mathematics and language.
Both of these capabilities are needed by anyone who wants to enter the business. Especially businesses in modern times that have penetrated international market share.
Reason 4: More regular

People who learn music and enjoy music hobbies usually have a better ability to keep the rhythm of the music being played. And this is brought to everyday life.
They become more organized in maintaining the rhythm of life by balancing work and hobbies. To succeed, hard work alone is not enough. This must be balanced with the time to spend a hobby so that the mind and body remain fresh and productive.
Reason 5: They are used to working hard
People who learn music usually have a perfectionist spirit. They always try hard to achieve the best quality performance and always try to learn more to continue to improve their musical abilities. Of course quality like this is needed if we want to achieve success in any field.
