The Impact of Music Education on Adolescent Well-Being and Sustainable Development
June 16, 2025 - 09:39
With the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda elevating Good Health and Well-Being (SDG 3) and Quality Education (SDG 4) to global priorities, music education emerges as a vital contributor to adolescents’ subjective well-being. A recent bibliometric review covering literature from 2000 to 2024 highlights the significant role that music education plays in promoting mental health and emotional resilience among young individuals.
The review indicates that participation in music education not only enhances cognitive abilities but also fosters social connections and emotional expression. Adolescents engaged in music programs report higher levels of self-esteem and lower instances of anxiety and depression. This aligns with sustainable development goals, as improved mental health contributes to overall community well-being and educational achievement.
As educators and policymakers increasingly recognize the importance of integrating music education into curricula, the potential benefits extend beyond the classroom. By nurturing creativity and emotional intelligence, music education can serve as a powerful tool for fostering a healthier, more equitable society for future generations.
