Abstract

More and more mental health problems faced by adolescents, and as society has changed, the emotional pressure and psychological distress endured by adolescents has also increased. Music education can not only improve students' artistic accomplishment, but also help teenagers' psychological growth. This paper examines the effects of music education on adolescents' emotional health, learning motivation, academic performance and cognitive development. This paper finds that music education has a positive effect on the emotional health development of teenagers. It can assist adolescents in alleviating negative feelings such as anxiety and sadness, enhancing their emotional cognitive capacity and self-regulation skills, so enabling them to more effectively manage psychological stress. Moreover, music education can enhance students' engagement in learning, elevate their intrinsic motivation, and consequently augment their academic achievement, particularly in topics like mathematics and language. Music education fosters cognitive growth via interdisciplinary instruction, particularly in linguistic proficiency, mathematical reasoning, and problem-solving abilities. Cultural background influences pupils' acceptance of music education. Consequently, educators must instruct pupils in accordance with their aptitudes and adapt pedagogical approaches to reflect students' cultural backgrounds. In summary, music education helps teenagers enhance their skills while also improving their general emotional well-being, scholastic achievement, and cognitive capacities.
