The paper presents a study designed to verify the relationship between music and the cognitive skills of primary school children. In this sense, the first part of the paper brings to the reader’s attention some theoretical ideas regarding the Mozart effect and the relationships between music and mathematics. In the second part of the paper a study is presented aiming to identify whether the classical background music influences the results obtained by students in solving mathematical problems. The paper ends with the conclusions.
Starting from the idea that treating a problem is done more efficiently when we address the causes that generated it than when dealing with symptoms, respectively from theories that claim that most of the mental disorders have their roots... more
Starting from the idea that treating a problem is done more efficiently when we address the causes that generated it than when dealing with symptoms, respectively from theories that claim that most of the mental disorders have their roots in the mother-child relationship developed in the early childhood, through the paper entitled A Theoretical Perspective on the Therapeutic Role of Children's Folk Songs we intend to argue the more use of songs from children's folklore in music therapy. Thus, in the first part of the paper, we bring to the attention of the main theories that demonstrate the importance of the mother-child relationship from the early childhood in order to a healthy evolution of the child from the point of view of its psychic development, with special emphasis on their expression through vocal singing. In the second part of the study, we propose to approach the defense mechanisms from the perspective of the positive functions that it performs in the case of nor...

This project was done at the Orthodox Highschool Roman Ciorogariu from Oradea with the 4th grade (year 2016-2017). This class is made of 28 pupils, 10 girls and 18 boys (unbalanced number in gender). It came into being as a strong desire to observe the impact of improvisation in music activities in the primary school, on the pupil within this criteria level. The main observation concerning this criteria of pupils (during a lesson of music improvisation of a professor done on this class) was that they are receptive on everything that is new, which demands creativity and imagination. More than that we wanted to investigate if, by bringing up a music improvisation program, children would reach the highest level of improvisation (see Levels of improvisation) in relation to their age level and their musical experience. The passion of the professor and of the primary school teacher, the atmosphere full of warmth and harmony of the class, made me curious and determined me to do this resear...
