Read the following passage and choose the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

Music can make a powerful contribution to the education and development of children, having benefits which range from those that are largely academic to the growth of social skills and contribution to overall development. It is a unique form of communication that can change the way pupils feel, think and act. Children's involvement in music engages pupils, increasing their self-esteem, and maximizing their progress in education and not just in music.

Research has shown a direct link between music and improved reading ability in children. It shows that pupils who were given certain types of music instruction had improved reading comprehension compared to those who did not. Studies have shown that music instruction improved pupils' ability to remember words and so improve their vocabulary, and also enhance language development.

Evidence also suggests a link between mathematics and music, for example some types of music education can encourage improvement in some elements of mathematics more effectively than others. Other studies have demonstrated a link between music and creative skills, particularly musical improvisation and lessons which require children to be imaginative.

Other studies have shown different benefits from participating in music groups and needing to work together towards a common goal, for example school bands. These include discipline, teamwork, cooperation, self-confidence, responsibility and social skills.
