I have discovered that music concepts helps learners to delve more deeply into the concepts behind specific subjects, below is a brief explanation of how music concepts relate to mathematics, life skills and language education.

mathematics 

certain music instruction including comprehensive instruction that includes training in keyboard skills develops spatial reasoning and spatial temporal reasoning skills which are fundamental to understanding and using mathematical ideas and concepts. According to Phillips-Silver& Trainor(2005) an emphasis on learning through play and other everyday experience can promote the learning of mathematical concepts such as patterning. for example teachers can use music concepts beat to teach fractions, by having students tap to the beat.

language education

of all the content area relationship between music language arts and music have one of the closest bonds, it is always good to learn a new language using music because language and music share the elements of pitch, timing and timbre. for example children become more familiar with these elements through musical instruction their language processing skills also improve as well as vocabulary growth.

Life skills

Rhythm, rhyme are part of the instructional process that can appeal to the learning styles of the learners. using music, fine arts, drama when teaching life skills develop self awareness and personal responsibilities.
