How Music Elevates Learning and Wellbeing
In the ever-changing rhythm of life, music holds a unique power to enrich the lives of young people in the UK. At Rewise, our commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR) aligns seamlessly with our dedication to nurturing the potential of youth. In this blog, we explore the transformative influence of music on learning and wellbeing among young people in the UK, supported by key statistics.
Music as a Learning Catalyst
1. Cognitive Advancement
Music actively stimulates cognitive development. A study by the University of London found that students engaging with music excel in subjects like mathematics and science, thanks to enhanced problem-solving skills.
In the UK, 75% of teachers believe that students who participate in music programs perform better academically (University of Cambridge survey).
2. Concentration Booster
Music aids concentration. The University of Wales found that students who study with background music can sustain focus for longer periods.
82% of primary school teachers in the UK reported that music enhances student concentration (Classic FM survey).
3. Emotional Intelligence Builder
Music nurtures emotional intelligence. Engaging with music develops skills such as empathy, self-awareness, and emotional regulation.
76% of young people involved in music projects in the UK reported improved emotional well-being (Youth Music report).
Music and Wellbeing

Music reduces stress and anxiety, providing much-needed relief to young individuals facing modern-day pressures.
Music therapy reduced depression and anxiety symptoms in 82% of participants (British Journal of Psychiatry study).
