The research findings revealed that overall child functioning is positively affected by music and dance activities. This effect is most convincingly demonstrated with regard to cognitive functioning. Specifically positive effects have been found on enhancement of cognitive task performance, such as concentration and special task performance, on academic performance, and music as a facilitator of cognitive processes. Therefore, it is highly recommended that mass music and dance experiencing activities, in which all pupils are enabled to express themselves freely, should be provided for daily school programme, government should make the music and dance programme a fully-fledged subject in the primary school curriculum. It should not be taken as an alternative to any other subject in the primary school curriculum.
